Extract Multiple Columns

[afr_070]

I exported data from software to excel. There are more than 20 columns. But need only 10 columns of them to prepare a report. Manual selection is very time consuming.

Is there any formula to do it easily?

Get info about using CHOOSECOLUMNS then.

I suggest that you update your Account details (or click your user name at the top right of the forum) so helpers always know what Excel version(s) & platform(s) you are using as the best solution often varies by version. (Don’t forget to scroll down & ‘Save’)

Thanks for your suggestions. I updated my account details.

CHOOSECOLS is not available in my current version of excel. Is there any alternatives? or, How can I use it in my version?

How about a VBA solution?
Of course, we would need a lot more details in order to help you with that.
Maybe you can post a sample of your data, and show us what you want (just be sure to remove any sensitive data first).

MrExcel has a tool called “XL2BB” that lets you post samples of your data that will allow us to copy/paste it to our Excel spreadsheets, so we can work with the same copy of data that you are. Instructions on using this tool can be found here: XL2BB Add-in

Note that there is also a "Test Here” forum on this board. This is a place where you can test using this tool (or any other posting techniques that you want to test) before trying to use those tools in your actual posts.

Unfortunately, till now I am unable to add XL2BB Add-in to my excel as per the instruction found in the forum. Every time it is showing the below notifications while adding that Add-in in my excel.

Is there any solution?
