Hello Gurus

Have an excel listing of prospective clients done by another company, so I cannot ask for a new file. All data (name, address, city/state/zip, phone, email & website) are done for each store in rows, one after the other. Then that's repeated in 3 columns, essentially a customer 1 in column 1, customer 2 in column 2, customer 3 in column 3, then customer 4 returns to column 1 under customer 1! Crazy!

All the data is there, it's just unusable without massive cut & paste. How can I: take what is in varied # of rows (if there is no email or phone, then the next data field fills it, so NOT standard...) and pivot that into columns? Luckily the city/state zip, although in one row can be concatenated once all in 1 column. Getting to that point is the challenge. One other little nuance...the website URL is in a protected field, where the link to URL needs a click to travel to it.

I'd love to upload a visual of my desired before & after. if that's not possible, here's a paste of what I have,and below that what I want! Any & all help welcomed. And for the person who can solve this, some free sunglasses for your favorite college team from my company! :)

Excel Facts

Why are there 1,048,576 rows in Excel?
The Excel team increased the size of the grid in 2007. There are 2^20 rows and 2^14 columns for a total of 17 billion cells.
As you work down each column is there *anything* to indicate where one customer ends and the next one starts? Maybe a blank cell in that single column, even though the other columns have data? If so then it can probably be done by formula and certainly by code

Looking at your posting there seems to be a empty cell between records.
Working on one column ar a time put this onto another sheet. The formula in column B should be copied across to column H, then copy A:H down as far as required
