Moving Data From Two Columns Into Multiple Columns?
Feb 24, 2013
I have a large database of research data where the first column contains different categories (labelled as I, II, III, IV, V, and VI). For each row there is a data value in the second column that is numeric. What I need to do is move the data so that the data are displayed in 6 columns with the data values listed each column heading according to the category label. In the example I've shown there are 6 different categories, but the number of categories (and hence the number of columns in the final resulting sheet) will change for different data sets that I'm using. Also note the the number of cases for each different category is different (so that each column will not be even in terms of the number of rows of data under each column heading). I hope I've been able to explain what I'm looking for clearly.
I've attached a sample file showing the sample data input that I have on one sheet, and then the desired re-tablulated outcome on the second. I have done this using the auto-filter function and copy/paste, but this will take far too long for the larger datasets I'm working with.

Current Data:
File 1:
Each set of data is listed in either two or three rows
Eg.,
ID
Date
Filename
ID
Date
ID
Date
Filename
The goal is to move them to separate columns (rows can be 3 or 2 for each data set, and may or may not be separated by space/additional row)
File 2:
Has a common field 'ID' as that of File1, does not have Date, and Filename, but has a new field 'Detail' (already in the expected format)
Eg.
ID Detail
The goal is to merge properly formatted data from File 1 to File 2
Eg
ID Date Filename Detail

in moving data from multiple columns to a single column. I have attached a sample image from an excel file which details the requirement. The first column contains a qualifier, that should remain constant when the data from columns B to the end move to a single column "B". The number of columns for each row is different, however, there is a maximum number, say 25. As mentioned in the image, when the data from columns B to the end is moved in to column B, column A is retained fixed, to the original value, and the original data below it is pushed below. Any pointers to how this can be achieved by VBA or without VBA?

I'm trying to work out how to take all cells with data from multiple columns and stack them in a single column.
Here's the history...
I have multiple part numbers in single cells in column A. I perform a text-to-columns function. The resulting part numbers spread across multiple columns (say, B through K). Now I need to get all the part numbers, in their own cells, stacked in column A for one continuous list of single cell part numbers.
Is there a VBA option for cutting only the data cells from Column B-K and pasting the data at the bottom of column A while avioding blank cells?

I have the following spreadsheet with 4 columns of data:
1000001245aMr Fred Blogs
1000001270a1 Blog Street
1000001270bNorwich
1000001270cNorfolk
1000001270eNRx x99
1000001270gThe Manager
1000001270k01603 555 555
1000001270l01603 555 555
1000001270qManager
1000001270xN
1000001270yN
1000002245aMrs Fredilina blogs
1000002270a10 Blog Street
1000002270bNorwich
etc etc for about 36,000 rows.
What I need is for each unigue reference ID (column A),
I need all corresponding data moved up into a single row in serperate columns, something like this:
1000001 |245|a|Mr Fred Blogs| 270|a| 1 Blog Street|270|b| Norwich | 270|b|Norfolk |etc
1000002 |245 |a |Mrs Fredina Blogs |270|a|10 Blog Street |270|b|Norwich| etc
Each entry doesn't nessesarily have the same number of rows.
I would class myself as a beginner VBA bod, but the solution to this one is illuding me a present.

I have address data all in column A (each paret of the address is on a separate row) which I need to move to separate columns on one row for each address:
ie:
Mr Bloggs (row 1)
123 The Avenue (row2)
The town (row 3)
The postcode (row 4)
Mrs Smith (row 6)
456 The street (row7)
The postcode (row 8)
needs to be: (I have used || to indicate different columns)
Mr Bloggs || 123 The avenue || The town || The postcode
Mrs Smith || 456..... || .......
The problem you see from the above is that they are not always consistent ie. the postcode (zip) isn't always 3 rows below the name for example. Also although generally there is a blank row between each record (this may sometimes be 2) and equally there may also be times when there is a blank line in the address.
Any ideas on how to do this.... I have 1000's of records and really can't afford to go through each one making it consistent before moving it to columns?

I am trying to write a macro that will take data from column A and use it as a column header in column C, and then take the corresponding data in column B and list it under the column header in column C. When the value in column A changes it will move on to column D and then list the corresponding data from column B underneath it in column D until all of the data in the 2 columns is spread across the worksheet. Example:..............

I have an excel spreadsheet where the columns have the 12 months of the year in Row 1. What I need is code that will find the month (from the column) which I select (via a listbox in a userform) and then go down that column and move the data that corresponds to that month to the userform.
So, If I select January from my userform, all data below January will then be moved to the userform and the same thing will occur with each month I select. I know how to move the data from the sheet to the userform, I just don't know how to match my data with the selected month.

import it into to Stata to do statistical analysis. I always receive spreadsheets like this:
country
1991
1992
1993
1994
1995
1996
1997
1998
1999
2000
[code].....
and I have to manually reorganize it like this to import into Stata:
country
year
value
Benin
1991
20
Benin
1992
254
[code].....
Is there way I can quickly design a macro to do this? The problem is that I generally have a list of about 60 countries, and years from 1991-2011. So, it's really time consuming copying the column of data corresponding to the year, pasting below, repasting the list of countries and the years...then again..then again...then again...I'm using Excel 2010.

Using VBA... I have Column N (eFIUnitRebate) which I want to swap with Column M (FFUnitPcnt)
Now with Column M as eFIUnitRebate and N as FFUnitPcnt I want to create an extra column (adjUnitCost) where Column N is and push FFUnitPcnt to become column O, etc.
Here is how the whole process should work:
Swap M and N
Insert new Column in N
Insert new Column in P
Insert new Column in Q
Insert new column in R
There is more information on the sheet after these columns so for all column inserts it needs to push whatever was there over.
So the layout is as follows:
J
K
L
M
N
O
P
Q
R
Units
UnitCost
UnitRebate
[Code] .....
These columns are thousands long, so I would like the formulas for them to be applied to the whole column as well.

removing duplicate rows and move other data frm rows to columns.xlsx.
I am attaching a sample excel sheet showing what I need to do.In the first tab, I have a list that includes duplicate rows (first column only). I want to remove those duplicate rows but I don't want to lose the data in the following columns which can be unique or duplicates as well.
see the desired result tab in the sheet to get an idea of what I am looking for as the end result.
Keep in mind that the actual source file I am working with could have up to 50000 row, and the expected results could be around 2000 rows. So nothing can be done manually.

I was wondering if there is a way to write a macro that will take an excel file that I have called Alldata and then have it copy the first two sheets to a new workbook named something else( FullSparameter_0) and then copy the name of the third and fourth sheet into the new FullSparameter_0 workbook and then copy column A-E from sheet dB Alldata.xls and paste it into the FullSparameter_0.xls workbook in the same dB sheet in the same spot. And do the same thing with the Phase Sheet. i know this sounds confusing, but im really new to the VBA stuff.
I just need 15 different files from the original Alldata.xls that will be named FullSparameter_0, FullSparameter_1, .., FullSparameter_14. but each file will have the same two first sheets, Setup Information and Cal Verification, and the same last two sheet names, dB and Phase, but then in the dB and phase sheets, it will copy over the next four columns of data. so in FullSparameter_0 it will have column A-E from sheet dB in Alldata.xls in the dB sheet in FullSparameter_0 (Same with the Phase Sheets). Then in FullSparameter_1 it will have column A and Columns F,G,H and I (for dB and Phase). In fullSparameter_2 it will have column A and then J,K,L and M. Each FullSparameter_X will have the exact same first two sheets and then the other columns for the last two sheets will be pasted into columns A-E in dB and Phase.

I am doing a SumIf function on some Imported data a follows "=SUMIF(FMEFactors!B:B,Long,FMEFactors!B:B)". Now, this is fine if the columns are imported in the same order but if Column B data gets moved to another Column the SumIF will give false information. I need to find the correct column to do the SumIF on.

I receive a report which, amongst the other columns of data, has 7 specific columns with four digit codes on each row. I would like to find a way to concatenate these 7 columns into Column A, inserting a - between each code and adding -uu at the end of the last (7th) code.
I wouldn't be requesting assistance at all with this if the codes were always in the same column. Sometimes, they move 1 or 2 columns left or right depending on the additional (unwanted) data in the columns in-between. The column names, however, never change: Code 1, Code 2, Code 3, Code 4, Code 5, Code 6, Code 7
I was wondering if there was a way to still concatenate these columns into Column A but also take into account that the columns shift...

I have a spreadsheet with 10 columns which are for tags for products. Some columns are filled in for 10 products and some are not. For instance, product 1 has 7 tags while product 2 has only 2 tags and so on. Now what I am looking to do is combine all the tags for each product with a "," inbetween each one. The problem is if I just use a simple =A2&","&B2&","&C2 etc formula is that if there are only 2 tags then I get 8 ","s. I also tried it with an IF statement but by the time I was done nesting items I became cross eyed and said there has to be an easier way to do this.
I have create a spreadsheet with the data and the result that I typed into the "result" column.

Example:................
The key point is that I have over 400 columns grouped in three, offset by one row down for each (this is due to a different formula I have working). Each column is 60 numbers long (not including empty cells above data). I want to copy all of these columns into a single set of three columns on another sheet (Sheet2). (These will be the fifth, sixth, and seventh columns, E, F, and G. If it would be simpler, I could simply copy the third of each set of columns on Sheet1 (C, F, I) to column G of Sheet2. Then there would be a total of 144 columns being copied (60 numbers per column).) All of this copying has to be values-only as the original columns consist of formulas referencing outside cells. Sheet2 should look like this:.............

I found this code on Ozgrid to sort all columns of a worksheet that were continuous with no gaps or spaces that works well:
Sub CopyToA()
Do While ActiveCell <> ""
Range(ActiveCell, ActiveCell.End(xlDown)).Cut Destination:=Range("a65535").End(xlUp).Offset(1, 0)
ActiveCell.Offset(0, 1).Select
Loop
End Sub
However, I've tried to manipulate the code myself to 1) find all columns that aren't empty then 2) sort each column individually (WITHOUT expanding the sort to other columns) and 3) combining all the numbers into one seperate column. There are many posts concerning sorting but not one that addressed this particular situation.

I am running through some old accounting documents in excel 2003 (originally from SAP), that contain information in row form that I would like in Column form. Column E indicates to me whether this was an invoiced amount or payment amount or "other." I have limited VBA exposure, but am fairly proficient at what I do know. This is just too difficult for me!

Without moving or copying columns I need to print Column A & Column I on the same piece of paper and not print Column B-H.
Every time I try this though it is printing column A on one sheet and Column I on a second sheet. Yes I've checked margins, etc.
This is actually possible, right?
(I didn't want to move or copy columns as the spreadsheet is for someone else's use, plus my formulas buggered when I tried to so I didn't want to add that complication for the other person of double checking the formulas every time she wanted to print this two column version of the sheet.)
