[pre]
Code: 
Location                    Address

Location Name	                Street
Location Refernece Number	City state, zip
Location Name	                Street
Location Refernece Number	City state, zip
Location Name	                Street
Location Refernece Number	City state, zip
Location Name	                Mall Name
Location Refernece Number	Street
City state, zip
Location Name	                Mall Name
Location Refernece Number	Street
City state, zip
[/pre]

====================

I want


Location Name Location reference # Mall Name if applicable Street city StateZip


(the spreadsheet is more clear)


My data looks like column A and B


I want it to look like D to J


==============

I tried Text to column, but because of the inconsistent data it doesn't really work. I copied these data directly from web.


I have also tried =INDEX($A:$A,(ROWS($1:3)-1)*2+COLUMNS($A:B)-1), and because of the inconsistent data, the data doesn't line up.


I have ALSO tried =IF(A2<>A1,1,C1+1), but they all come up as 1.


I tried to merge them into one column using =INDEX(MyData,1+INT((ROW(A1)-1)/COLUMNS(MyData)),MOD(ROW(A1)-1+COLUMNS(MyData),COLUMNS(MyData))+1), but then used =IF(A2<>A1,1,C1+1). It didn't work.


Please help!
 
Why doesn't my spreadsheet show as a picture like the others. >_< I read the forum rules and they doesn't say. Is there any code I need to insert?
 
Hi winnie,


This is with refrence to your uploaded worksheet. You Initial Data is present in between cells A1:B12. Enter this fomrula in Cell D2 your worksheet:


Code: 
=TRANSPOSE(B2:B12) .... and press Ctrl+Shift+Enter


Now....

1. Select D2 and then Select the Range D2:N2.

2. Press F2 so that Cell D2 comes in Edit Mode.

3. Press Ctrl+Shift+Enter so that the formula is applied to entire range.

..and its done. 


With Index(): 


you can do it this way, enter this is cell D2 and drag to left.


[code]=INDEX($B$1:$B$12,COLUMN(A1),0)


...but you need to adjust B1:B12 if you want to do it for Multiple Columns, lets say you add a Col-C and now you want to transpose, you will have to change it to C1:C12


With Offset():


I think this is the easiest way if you have multiple columns, enter following in D2, drag to left and then down to O2 and see that it will transpose everything including your header row:


=IF(ISBLANK(OFFSET($A$1,COLUMN(A2)-1,ROW(A1)-1))=TRUE,"",OFFSET($A$1,COLUMN(A2)-1,ROW(A1)-1))[/code]


Hope that solves your problem.


PS: when you copy paste data from excel worksheet, place it in backticks, (`), preview post, edit to adjust alignment.

Hi Faseeh,


I really appreciate your help. I just have some questions.


on the

=TRANSPOSE(B2:B12), i followed your steps and the result is not i was expected.


( there is no title to the given data) shouldn't the transpose be B1:B12?


Maybe I was being confusing.


Let me make you a new spreadsheet.


The column A and B are given data, copied directly from web.


and Column D to J is the desired format

Is there no way to make them match the label? In your spreadsheet, where the label location name in D1, all the method in that column D2 to D4 shows street. ( maybe there is a confusion, in the first spreadsheet there is no label, i added it in the second spreadsheet to make it easier for me to explain)


I also want multiple columns and multiple rows. I want the excel file looks exactly like what i have. where the distribution center goes to location name, and street goes under street. Not like street goes under location name. I need to make these data into a table.
