Hello Forum,

I am struggling! I am trying to find a way to get a current column of data transposed into seperate columns of the same genre... Heres the list. Each of the rows numbered 1-8 is a single product.

6Break Quantity :160
7In Stock.

So what I need is for all `1`s to be in column B, all `2`s in column C, all the `3`s to be in column D and so on...

Is there a simple way to do this - there is about 28k rows of data, so too many to do by `hand`...

Thanks in advance.
Colin

You can use the funcationality of Text to columns that is select the column and then go to Header as Data-->Text to column this will make the speration.

or you can use the funcationality of filter which will help u lot to elimate text according to your requirments.

It works:
the formula from the microsoft page:

C1 forumula:
=OFFSET($A$1;(ROW()-1)*8+INT((COLUMN()-3));MOD(COLUMN()-3;1))
