Hello all,
I have a question I have not seen answered yet, and I have no idea how to accomplish this. I have some data which shares some common elements, but has unique values. Some cells have multiple items separated by a linefeed (Alt+Return) as in the description column.
For example I would like to convert This:

b6bov8tgp


Into this:

kntufaa59



I could do a text to columns and transpose it, and then repaste it however this is cumbersome, and my list is quite long. Is there any way to do this without a complicated, mufti-step solution?
 

Excel Facts

Pivot Table Drill Down
Double-click any number in a pivot table to create a new report showing all detail rows that make up that number
Sorry, Images did not come out.

I want to go from this:

Store
Kroger
Kroger
Kroger

<tbody>
</tbody>
Item
Apples
Bananas
Oranges

<tbody>
</tbody>




To this:

StoreItem
KrogerApples
KrogerBananas
KrogerOranges

<tbody>
</tbody>


Note that the 'Items' is a list in a single cell. I need to paste this to individual cells in the same column using the linefeed as a delimiter.
