Converting Different Length Rows Into Single Column
Jul 29, 2014
I have a table in excel in which every line has as many values as the days of the month (e.g. 31 values first row, 28 the second..) and it goes from January 1948 to July 2014. So it ends up having around 800 rows.
I need to put all of those into a column, but it gets hard because the rows have different lengths. I have seen in this forum some solutions that apply well when the table is regular, but I'm stuck in trying to get a solution for when it's not. I have tried to record a macro using TRANSPOSE, but then I cannot change the cells into this formula in the editor in order to create a loop.
I am working on putting together a very large spreadsheet covering multiple data sets over multiple states/years. I am trying to convert the data that I have in one spreadsheet (that is arranged like the example below) and make it so that I can paste the data into another spreadsheet as one single row: i.e, 1,651 would follow in the column to the right in the same row as 6.4 and so on. Right now I am having to copy and paste row by row and it is going to take me years.
I need a macro that allows me to select a matrix of cells and converts it into a single column elsewhere, pasting the second column below the first and so on. Is it possible to select the matrix, hit a macro key and then paste it in my selected location?
From a table like the one here, how can I generate a list (without spaces) of all the names only? Perhaps filtering by "Mr","Miss","Dr" or something? The result I'm after would be a column on a new sheet that ran:
Mr James Mrs Milly Dr McAllister Miss Aujard Mr Barker Mrs Stanley
Using Excel 2003, Column E has a varying and unpredictable number of rows, which only the final 252 rows are of significance. I need to compute the following formulas, here written in English as I can't determine the proper terminology to accomplish this task in Excel:
Final Row with a number in Column E/average (final 252 rows with numbers in column E)+
Final Row with a number in Column E/average (final 126 rows with numbers in column E)+
Final Row with a number in Column E/average (final 63 rows with numbers in column E)
Once again, what makes this not straightforward for me is the column may have wildly varying numbers of rows.
I have a excel spreadsheet that is setup as follow:Johnson, Ashley0916BF00001U9/16/2009Test1POSITIVE0916BF00002R9/16/2009Test1POSITIVE0916BF00001U9/16/2009Test2NP0916BF00002R9/16/2009Test2NP0916BF00001U9/16/2009Test3NP0916BF00002R9/16/2009Test3NPBlack, Tom0517BF00012R5/17/2009Test1POSITIVE0527BF00003R5/27/2009Test1NEGATIVE0601BF00009R6/1/2009Test1NEGATIVE0517BF00012R5/17/2009Test2NP0527BF00003R5/27/2009Test2NEGATIVE0601BF00009R6/1/2009Test2NP0517BF00012R5/17/2009Test3NP0527BF00003R5/27/2009Test3NP0601BF00009R6/1/2009Test3NP
First column is in goups: First row of each group contains customer's name then followed by test codes. Test codes are usually repeated three times per customer but they have different names (listed in third column as Test1, Test2 and Test3) and different results (listed in 4th column as POSITIVE, NEGATIVE or NP).
What I want to do is to convert this data into a way that each row has One customer name and the columns in front of each customer lists Tests results and dates. If a customer has multiple test codes, then one row to be created for each test code.
I have a set of training information in the rows, with dates under it which maps back to names of employee in the left hand side. How do I convert that to Name of Employee Training attended dates expiry date.
I have a google earth KML file that I have converted to text, and through a bunch of manipulation have been able to pull a series of GPS coordinate strings into a single cell string. Unfortunately, the string data is beyond what excel 2007 can handle for a single cell. so my thought is to have excel pull each coordinate string into a separate cell with which i can then run a macro to develop a new KML dynamically. (changing multiple attributes based on a query to a database)
Each string of coords actually maps out a single region (path) on the KML, truth be told it is telecom rate center data, and each rate center will have numerous other variables applied to it depending on my company's voice network capability for a given rate center. Currently my only desire is to depict differently any rate centers that I'm able to deliver VOIP services to by showing them in a different color...but these change very often so it will support to be able to auto generate the map from time to time.
the raw data from the KML looks like this:
Code:
CLINTONVL
RATE_CNTRCLINTONVL STATEPA]]>
ff000000 1 0 1
[Code] ..........
After doing my data import, i extracted via various manipulations, the rate center name (a common lookup value that stays constant across multiple databases), and the string of coordinates. this is where i run into trouble. i need to pull each coord into a separate cell assuming i won't run out of cells in the x coordinates to gather this data OR find a way to grab the data via another lookup to another document...not desireable.
First off, my import was jacked up by missing some comma's...this i can fix easily with the string importation and manipulation HOWEVER...i still run into the issue of string length OFTEN.
my macro comes up with an error on the Consolidate line that says 'Cannot add duplicate source reference'. I have a workbook with a variable number of tabs and I want to consolidate-sum (not copy and paste) the data from the various sheets onto a summary sheet within the same workbook. I'm at the point where it all works fine until it hits Consolidate.

I have a single column of about 1500 points, and I need them to be separated into many rows of 20 numbers.
I have multiple issues:
1) The middle number of each row (10th and 11th) need to be repeated. So a transpose formula can not work all the way through the 20 numbers. Unless I transpose the first ten, then tranpose the second ten. Is there an easier way around this ?
2) The bigger issue is, I would like to write a formula that can manipulate the date to enter in the correct cell.
I have to worksheets: Sheet1, Sheet2. In sheet 1, I have some data like this (in first col is 1, second col is a, third col is c etc. ):
1 a b c d 2 e f g h . . . .
I need in sheet 2 in range A1(only in this range one big text), something like this: a,c,e,g ........ ( row1-col2,row1-col4,row1-col2,row1-col4 ......) ( separated by ","). The number of rows from sheet 1 is variable. The dataf a,b,c,d,e,f,g,h ... is some random text.
I am trying to take data from multiple rows and columns (matrix) and reformat it all to fit in a single column.
It would be great if I could select the cells I want to reformat into the single column as the number of rows and columns containing the original data is not always the same (ie 20x20, 21x35, 56x200) etc...
I have 300 rows worth of data that looks similar to this, all organized in one column:

As you can see it is consistent with the name, position, address line 1, address line 2, Phone number, for every single entry. All my names are already alphabetized so I don't have to worry about it. What I want to do is have the information for each entry translated into 5 separate columns so it looks like this.

Supposing I started the sheet in the top left corner at A1, I was just going to have cell B1=A1 then Cell B2=A6 then just autofill down column B but it doesn't work. I have seen some people do something similar to what I want with VBA but I am convinced there has to be something simple in with an excel formula seeing as my information is already so organized and consistent.
I have on sheet1 of my workbook a number of rows of data, from column A through Column G. The Data in column G either contains the text "Yes", or "No".
I need a macro that will look through each row in this sheet, and upon finding a "Yes" in the cell in the column G, will copy that entire row (columns A through G) into a new row in sheet2. Sheet2 currently contains data, so I'd like to move everything down by one row and paste this data at the top (row 6 is the first line of data on this sheet).
I'd then like to go back to sheet 1, and delete the row I've just copied. Then continue though the loop. The loop needs to stop when a blank row is discovered.
I am trying to convert text to rows but in the same column Take the following example:
Column A: 1-2-3 ab-cde-fg 54-ty-12345 the waht i am looking is convert it to the following format: (the - is the delimiter) Column A
1 2 3 ab cde fg 54 ty 12345
i have found the following VBA code on those forums but i don't know how to edit it to suit my needs
Sub Txt_To_Rows() Dim arrText() As String Dim varItm As Variant Dim rngText As Range Dim rngCl As Range Dim i As Integer Dim j As Integer Dim x As Integer Set rngText = Range("A1:A" & Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row) j = 2...........................
I am trying to reformat the attached doc into one single column, It's a race listing of overseas marathons and I need it to look like this
Event Name Event Date City Country Entry fee Website
in date order, one event after the other in a single column so I can flow it into a word doc ready to be designed. I need to apply in Excel (I am using 2007) to get this doc into the required format?!!
I have a single column with multiple rows of data like this: Afirst last, Bfirst last, Cfirst last (all in one cell) etc.
I want to type some names in one cell in the same format (Afirst last, Cfirst last, Bfirst last) but not order and then check if any of those names exist in the first column and count the results of matches.
So in this example I am looking to count Bfirst last and/or Cfirst last in every cell of column A. I need to use a formula.
I have A:1 - X365 filled with hourly energy prices for 2013. I need to convert these to a single column - A1:A8760. I have tried writing some code and some macros with no success.
If I were to do it manually 365 times, the macro would look like this:
I recieve a spreadsheet each month with the following column of data:
9 Paddington House PO Box 73 Whiteleys of Bayswater 9-10 Grove Road 134/138 Drymen Road 44-46 The High Street 1 Midland Road 48 Donegall Place
As you can see, it consists of addresses, each line is a separate address. I need it to be converted so that the data is split into the following 5 fields:
Street number from street number letter from street number to street number letter to street
If there is no street number , then it should just enter the data into the street field. If there is a range such as 44-46, it should enter the 2 numbers into the from and to fields. Sometimes this is in the format 44/46. Also, sometimes there are letters, eg 44a-44b, in which case each section (ie 44, a, 44, b) needs to be in a spearate field.
I've set up a filing system which saves sheets/ workbooks based on the value of a cell - Range("B1") Everything works great apart from when ThisFile String length exceeds 31 characters which you may know is the max useable character length for a sheet name - I had no idea! 8-0
Is there a way i can check if string length exceeds 31 characters then, if it does, shorten it to 31 characters?
I have a table of data (say Column1 to Column 5) with multiple rows.
Column 1 to 4 will have the lookup values in multiple rows and Column 5 data should be picked up using vlookup or other lookup function.
I managed to somehow bring all these lookup values in (Column 1 to 4) in a single column in another sheet. I am now trying to use some lookup or other functions to match this single column and pick column 5 data in original sheet. Result i am expecting is lookup value in first column and next to it column 5 value.
It is basically a lookup wherein lookup value is spread over multiple rows and columns and result column is fixed. I tried using vlookup, but lookup value column and column number had to change every time when i moved from column1 to 4.
My worksheet contains data with the reaction times on a psychological test. Each respondent in the test has 280 rows in my excel sheet.
The 'perfect' length of the row, is from A to M. When an error is made in the test, the length of the row will increase. So the error length can be A to AA.
For me it is important to analyse the error. So I would like to give a perfect row length, the value 1, and an error row length a value 2.
So, in conclusion:
If: Cell length = A1 - M1? --> Copy A1 B1 C1 (A B Cof that row) to Sheet3, and give D1 in sheet 3 the value 1
Cell length >= A1 - M1? --> Copy A1 B1 C1 (A B C of that row) to Sheet3, and give D1 in sheet 3 the value 2
