Moving Nth Row Right and Up, multiple times

[Erichev]

I have essentially the same issue with my spreadsheet, but mine is a little easier. I have written code to do the first few steps. I could just use some assistance with the middle. I know my thought on the process is "the long way", but with my experience in <acronym title="visual basic for applications" style="border-width: 0px 0px 1px; border-bottom-style: dotted; border-bottom-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); cursor: help; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); background-color: rgb(250, 250, 250);">VBA</acronym> I have to keep it simple. Here is my data and then the way I want it to look. I can add a macro to make it pretty afterwards, unless your way is easier (and I understand what is happening). --Oh, I am trying to automate my inventory process.

I have a spreadsheet and i wish to move every nth cell in column A to the initial cells in the row.
example:
Cell A2 moves to E1
Cell A3 moves to F1
Until the end and then select all and sort by column B (this would get rid of blanks and sort everything) before moving to the pretty stage.

How the data comes in.

The way I would like it to look before I pretty it up.

And my Final Goal.

This document is several thousand lines long. I made up the data to protect the weak. There can be duplicate usernames and vendors, but never serial numbers and computer names. Duplicates should be highlighted to be found easily and researched.

I ask a lot I know. I only need to get to the middle picture. After that I can modify with what I come up with. Every bit of help would be nice though. The step is 7 to help in the <acronym title="visual basic for applications" style="border-width: 0px 0px 1px; border-bottom-style: dotted; border-bottom-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); cursor: help; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); background-color: rgb(250, 250, 250);">vba</acronym>.

1. Copy the below code
2. Open your NEW workbook
3. Press the keys ALT + F11 to open the Visual Basic Editor
4. Press the keys ALT + I to activate the Insert menu
5. Press M to insert a Standard Module
6. Where the cursor is flashing, paste the code
7. Press the keys ALT + Q to exit the Editor, and return to Excel
8. To run the macro from Excel press ALT + F8 to display the Run Macro Dialog. Double Click the macro's name to Run it.

Before you use the macro with Excel 2007 or newer, save your workbook, Save As, a macro enabled workbook with the file extension .xlsm

Then run the ReorgData macro.

Erichev,

In the future when asking for help, please do not post images/graphics.


To post your data, you can download and install one of the following two programs:
Excel Jeanie

Or, when using Internet Explorer, just put borders around your data in Excel and copy those cells into your post.
See reply #2 the BLUE text in the following link:

[Erichev]

Thank you this work perfectly for the data shots I gave you. I didn't realize I had combined A3 and B3 (et.al) and saved the test file. Latitude and Exxx need to be combined prior to moving. This would be A3 + B3 in say C3. I'm thinking with that combine it would just be a line extra and a change to A3's move over and up to be C3 instead. Continuing down the spreadsheet.

Sorry for the mistake. I only noticed it when I saw the result. I also didn't think about the pictures not giving you the data. Sorry you had to type it. Here is a clip

Erichev,

One last try.

I need to see a screenshot, not text. I can not tell what cells, rows, columns, your data is in?


Can you post a screenshot of the actual raw data worksheet?

And, can you post a screenshot of the worksheet results (manually formatted by you) that you are looking for?

To post your data, you can download and install one of the following two programs:

If you are not able to give us screenshots:
You can upload your workbook to Box Net,

THANK YOU very much.
