I understand the Text TO Columns function in Excel. Is there a way to do text To Rows?
 

Excel Facts

How to find 2nd largest value in a column?
MAX finds the largest value. =LARGE(A:A,2) will find the second largest. =SMALL(A:A,3) will find the third smallest
You can do text to columns, then copy the resulting data and Paste Special Transpose.

Maybe that will work. Otherwise, post a sample of your data and the desired result.

Here is an example:
I have:
A B C D E
ace 1 2 3 4
spy 3 2 1 1

and want the above converted to:
ace 1
ace 2
ace 3
ace 4
spy 3
spy 2

etc...
Any ideas?
Thanks!

Select the range first and run
Code:
Sub test()
Dim i As Long, ii As Long, a, b(), n As Long
With Selection
    a = .Value
    ReDim b(1 To .Cells.Count, 1 To 2)
    For i = 1 To UBound(a, 1)
        For ii = 2 To UBound(a, 2)
            If a(i, ii) <> "" Then
                n = n + 1
                b(n, 1) = a(i, 1) : b(n, 2) = a(i, ii)
            End If
    Next ii, i
    .Offset(, .Columns.Count + 1).Resize(n, 2).Value = b
End With
End Sub

JAYLO,

Before the macro:


Excel Workbook
ABCDEFGH
1ace1234
2spy3211
3
4
5
6
7
8
Sheet1



After the macro:


Excel Workbook
ABCDEFGH
1ace1234ace1
2spy3211ace2
3ace3
4ace4
5spy3
6spy2
7spy1
8spy1
Sheet1



Please TEST this FIRST in a COPY of your workbook (always make a backup copy before trying new code, you never know what you might lose).

Press and hold down the 'ALT' key, and press the 'F11' key.

On the 'Insert' menu, click 'Module'.

Copy the below code, and paste it into the Module (on the right pane).


Code:
Option Explicit
Sub MoveData()
Dim NR As Long, i As Long, MyArray As Variant
NR = 1
For i = 1 To Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row Step 1
  Cells(i, 1).Copy Range(Cells(NR, 7), Cells(NR + 3, 7))
  MyArray = Range(Cells(i, 2), Cells(i, 5))
  Range(Cells(NR, 8), Cells(NR + 3, 8)) = Application.WorksheetFunction.Transpose(MyArray)
  NR = NR + 4
Next i
End Sub


Then run the "MoveData" macro.


Have a great day,
Stan
