Macro to move date in columns to ensure there are no blank rows

Hi there,

I have a excel sheet which is almost 11k lines and 11 columns big.
Within the columns data is populated sporadically in the rows and I want to be able to bring this data into a defined structure.
The defined structure is that Row 2 will be completed across all columns where there is data in the columns and so on until the next piece of data appears in column a.
Column A will only have one entry per data set.
So A2 has data and A45 has data - between B2 and K44 I want all the data to aligned in the column with no gaps
Row 1 is header data.

Any ideas of this can be done with a macro?
I am leaning towards doing this via filters and uploads - if I record this it wont work as there are lots of variables in the columns with the data.

Any help is muchly appreciated.
 
I can see your raw data, but I am not sure what your mocked up solution should look like. Am I missing something here?
So the difference essentially is that in the raw data there a gaps in the rows between A2-K61 - essentially if there is data in column B4 only I need this to be in B2. All data in the columns between the data in column A needs to have no blank rows as represented in the second dump.

In cell G11:G:16 this data should be moved up to G3 and then the data G20:G30 underneath that.
Each column will have a variable of data that needs to be cut and pasted to the previous blank row in the column

Excel Facts

Return population for a City
If you have a list of cities in A2:A100, use Data, Geography. Then =A2.Population and copy down.
I am sorry to be a pest, but I see no difference in the two spreadsheets that you have presented. They appear to have the same data presented in the same arranged format. You will need to provide a better explanation and example as what you are saying makes no sense to me given the examples presented.

No problem I appreciate your patience with me and hopefully after this we are clear - in this example I have my data - there are essential two data sets here. A2:K42. In these data - each column has data and there are some gaps within it. I want all the data in the columns to sit in to the next free row above and afterwards there should be no gaps between row 2 and the data in the columns. So if we look at column I there is data in I38:I42 - I want this data cut and pasted above in to I2, the next available blank row. This should be repeated for all columns.
The next data set is from A43:K57 - the data set is identified from the data in column A - from A2 to the next value is the data set and likewise in column A. IN my actual data there is hundreds of data sets in column A, here I only have included 2 examples.

Here is the data and what the expected result looks like with the data presented in the way I outlined above.
