Hello,

I have another question concerning the formatting of data (see the picture). The file in question contains information on about 260 unique companies. However, I want to structure the data in such a way that for each company there is a single row and multiple columns on for example Assets2000, Assets 2001 etc. I want to do this for assets, employees, revenue and RandDexpense. The issue is that the data range is from 2000 to 2006 so most companies have 7 rows, but some are missing a few years and have 3 rows. How do I go about getting the data in the wanted format?

Thanks a ton!

Can Excel fill bagel flavors?
You can teach Excel a new custom list. Type the list in cells, File, Options, Advanced, Edit Custom Lists, Import, OK
but your assets, employees, revenue and RandDexpense are not available on the picture
what about Data Year - Fiscal? All in one cell?
use XL2BB to post representative example with generic data and expected result
