How To Combine Multiple Columns Into Long List Of Results In 2 Final Columns
Oct 15, 2013
I have a need to combine multiple columns into a long list of results in 2 final columns. Here is my example...
Current layout with varying number of data points per row...
ColumnA | ColumnB | ColumnC | ColumnD | etc...
example1 | Test1 | Test2 | Test3 | Test4
example2 | Option1 | Option2
example3 | Number1 | Number2 | Number3 | Number4 | Number5
Desired Result
ColumnA | ColumnB
example1 | Test1
example1 | Test2
example1 | Test3
example1 | Test4
example2 | Option1
example2 | Option2
example3 | Number1
example3 | Number2
and so on and on and on until all rows have been filled in down the file...
Is this possible?

I've been given a long list of mailing addresses in Excel in formatted as a single column, each address using three rows with no blank rows. Example:
John Doe
123 Maple St. #2
Cambridge, MA 02139
Jane Smith
321 Elm St. Apt 24
Austin, TX 34557
etc.
etc.
I need to get this data into the form ...
John Doe 123 Maple St. #2 Cambridge MA 02139
Jane Smith 321 Elem St. Apt. 24 Austin TX 34557
I would think this has been done, but I've searched the web and this forum without success.

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.
3,484
2,179
62.5
2,053
58.9
126
5.8
5.2
6.4
[Code] .......

My workbook contains information about investigations. Each investigation gets a number and a line in the workbook. Many infos are stored: dates, subject, ...
A dynamic table contains all those informations, which allows me to manipulate data pretty easily.
Issue: For one of the characteristics of the investigation (let's say names), several results might have to be entered. For example, one investigation can have 3 different names, the next one only 2 and another one can have 6.
This causes a problem regarding the manipulation of the data.
Right now I have 10 columns "name 1" "name 2" .... and only those who need to be filled are filled. I can't however efficiently manipulate the data. For example, George could have been entered in "name 1" for the investigation 1 and in "name 2" for another investigation. Using a pivottable, to track George I'd have to select him in all 10 columns.
It seems to me the best choice would be to somehow index the names into a single column with each name linked to its investigation number..
With the index function I have 2 issues:
- It starts by going down the 1st column, then goes to 2nd, ... where I'd want all names of 1 row then names of 2nd row.
Solved this with this formula:
I turned my "names" columns in a ranged name "Names"
but - When fields are empty I get 0s. When I try to remove them with an if statement, it'll just give me empty cells. I'd prefer to skip the empty cells.
Also, I don't know how to 'link' them to my investigation number...
I have this (dynamic) table:
investigation number name 1 name 2 name 3
001 George Paul
002 Chris George Suzy
And I want something like this:
Investigation number Names
001 George
001 Paul
002 Chris
002 George
002 Suzy

I have attached a spreadsheet. I have a data set with ID's in column A and data in columns to the right. If an ID has only one entry then there will only be a value in column B if an ID has 2 entries then there will be a value in Columns B and C, if they have 3.......... And so on....
In my attached file I have created a macro that filters each column and copies the values to another sheet. If an ID had 5 entries (B-F) I would want to have 5 rows for that ID. The attached example macro does what I want but the real data has over 50 columns. Is there a more efficient way of doing this?

I'm trying to combine multiple columns into 1 column in Excel. I've searched a few places but most of them are tailored for a specific sheet and my VBA skills are elementary
My table looks like this (there could be more than 5 columns... it's somewhat dynamic based on the data given). Note that some columns could have no data, and the size may be different, some have 100 rows of data, while others have 5.
Firm A
Firm B
Firm C
Firm D
Firm E
[Code]...
I want to combine these columns into
Consolidated
A
B
B
C
D
E
[Code]...
Is it possible to do this with an Excel formula? If not, a VBA code

I am trying to combine the data of 31 columns into one column on a separate worksheet. The number of pieces of data in each column is different and as a result I am hung up on how to code the macro so that it automatically moves to copying the next column when a blank cell is reached, as it currently copies until it reaches the 100th row and then moves to the next column even though they're blank.
Sub CopyColumns()
Dim improw As Long, impcolumn As Long, MyCell
Dim ws1 As Worksheet, ws2 As Worksheet
Dim improw2 As Long, impcolumn2 As Long
Application. ScreenUpdating = False
Set ws1 = ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Data")
Set ws2 = ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Details")
'paste location on ws2
improw2 = 2
impcolumn2 = 2
There are column headers for the data on ws1 in row 2. The other thing I would like to do if possible is copy these column headers from ws1 onto ws2 by pasting them to the left of each piece of data (impcolumn2 - 1).

sample1.xlsx
Sample file attached. How do I combine the data in columns B-E into column A? Obviously in my sample file you'd use a simple cut/paste but my actual file has hundreds of columns and rows so cut/paste isn't an option. I need to move all the data into column A.

I could maybe
- Write all names in 1 cell, separated by something and use somemorething to virtually split that
- Write each name in a row below, with the other characteristics copy-pasted (although then if I have 2 names and thus 2 rows, Excel will consider I have 2 different investigations).

I wanted to see if it were possible to combine multiple worksheets into one new worksheet, but without duplicating columns with the same heading, enabling the data to fall into the correct column if it's shared in multiple worksheets, and adding columns if their unique. Furthermore, if there are a few "leading" columns, i.e. ones that are shared in every sheet and never move from where they are, to include those as the leading columns in the new sheet. I'm unable to post an attachment, but I'll try to paint a picture. This is on a much smaller scale than intended, but I want to combine Sheet 1 and Sheet 2 to form Sheet 3 (which I've manually copied to look how I would want it to look if the formula/code works properly). Columns A, B, and C are the "leading" columns I was referencing, whereas any of the following columns may or may not be shared in the various worksheets, but should still be included and combined if they're the same. There also might be a different number of columns depending on the sheet. I consider myself somewhat of an intermediate user, and I am familiar with using VBA codes for formulas should that be the proper remedy.

combining multiple rows of related data into one row but have not seen one that matches my situation. My experience level with excel only includes some basics like vlookup, match and recorded macros, although I have used vba code for a macro that met my needs. I have a parts list for a PCB that has many different parts. Some of the parts are used multiple times across different reference designations("Reference" column in the file). I have shown a desired format and the original format below. Since the item number has blanks across the reference designators I haven't found a solution that would work for me.
Desired output:
Item
Quantity

how to set one entire columns text to two different colors based on another columns values. So for example I have column A and B. Column A has two values called Internal and External. Column B is a title table so the entire column is just titles. We'll say it goes for 20 rows if you need a row count. What I am looking to do change the text in Column B to Red for External and Blue for Internal. I tried the conditional formatting and I just can't seem to find the right option.
I'm using Win 8.1, Office 2013.

I'm not sure what I'm trying to do is even possible, but figured this is the place to ask the question. I'm trying to compare a list of companies (column a) to a list of employee email addresses (column b) and post results (column c) that display all associated email addresses that are unique to company name. Since multiple employee email addresses can be associated with numerous company names.

Is it possible to combine search results into a single cell?
On my spreadsheet I'd like to select from 4 columns and combine the result into 1 cell. I'd like to search on equipment number in column K that meets a condithion in column H, if this is a match I'd like to show the result date in column P and the duration in column R. Columns P & R shown in 1 cell...
Sort of like this... if "K" = "CV537" and "H" = "0" then show the resulting date from "N" and duration from "R" in one cell somewhere.
Possible?

I am trying to combine data from two separate worksheets onto one so it can be sorted for printing. Using the macro recorder, and the search function on the forum, I managed to ham-fist my way through most of it - except for one issue.
How can I have Excel/VBA go to the first open cell in column A before it pastes the 2nd batch of information? I get an "object required" error with the MyRange variable.
Code:
Sub UpdateSortedTab()
Dim MyRange As Variant
' Removes Old Information
Sheets("Sorted").Select
Columns("A:E").Select
Selection.Delete Shift:=xlToLeft
' Copies Bench Stock Information

I have a workbook that has worksheeets for every day of the month. The data in the worksheet consists of columns (employee #, name, clock in/out times, and break penalty).
What I am trying to do is create another worksheet that searches all the other worksheets for a "yes" in the "break penalty" column and then create a list of all the employees that received a break penalty for the entire month. I would like this to be able to auto populate throughout the month as data is entered and not have to use a filter every time I want to compile this list.
