Hello everyone
I import data from a web site that is formatted incorrectly for my needs. I have included two images below ( Raw Data Columns A-E) and then how I need the data to be formatted into a table format (Table Format Required Columns H-O) for vlookup purposes. (I currently do this task manually) Any formula solutions that this terrific forum can provide will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you
CazfromOz

Whats the difference between CONCAT and CONCATENATE?
The newer CONCAT function can reference a range of cells. =CONCATENATE(A1,A2,A3,A4,A5) becomes =CONCAT(A1:A5)
Hi,
I had the same problem last year, with the same source.
I did not solve it with formulae but with a power query solution. Schuld have a copy laying around somewhere. Let me know if you are interested in that solution or not.
Else be patient for someone performing some formula wit.

I'm pretty sure if can be done using a combinations of lookups, isblank, match, offsets etc. Can you send a fuller view of the RawData to understand how it transitions from Agriculture to Forestry etc

Or a more manual approach would be to select blank cells as of row 2 of the data, then type =A1 followed by CTRL + ENTER. VLOOKUPs to get the titles in the correct rows as labels. Shuffle columns as needed.
