Labels into fields
I have inherited a list of lables (8 pages long) and I'd like to put them
into a spreadsheet. Is there a way to take a basic lable that's already got data and convert it into the fields? ie: name, city, state, etc. without having to retype everything? |

Show us a sample of how your data is currently laid out and is it consistent?

A1...Bill Gates
A2...1354 Billionaire Blvd. A3...Sharesomewealth, TX. 55555 And it is consistent down column A? Any blank rows between each set? If no blank rows, in B1 enter =INDEX($A:$A,(ROWS($1:1)-1)*3+COLUMNS($A:B)-1) Copy across to D1. Select B1:D1 and copy down until you get zeros showing up. Copy the range and Paste Special as Values. Select Column D and DataText to ColumnsDelimited By. Checkmark "Comma" and "Other". Enter a period in "Other" and Finish. If a blank row between each set change the formula to =INDEX($A:$A,(ROWS($1:1)-1)*4+COLUMNS($A:B)-1) and drag across to E1 Delete column E because it will have zeros all the way down.
