    Copy Multiple Skip Blanks

    Hi, I need help in my attached file. i have in the file criteria named a to e. then there would be question answerable by 1-5. now i want to arrange the data in which all answers that were separated by column be in one column and that is the highlighted cells. i can do this using skip blanks but when i try it for multiple sets i am not sure it gives the right position. Thinking of this that i have 1000 sets to combine the answers in one column. Thanks

    Please mock up what you expect as a result. It is not at all clear what you are wanting.

    Hi,

    It's not clear (at least to me) precisely what you want. I'm guessing, maybe incorrectly that you are looking to shift cells left in some way but that is a guess.
    Please clarify and upload a workbook with examples of real data (not just example a,b,c type data). In addition manually add the layout and results you expect to see when the task is finished.

    Re: Copy Multiple Skip Blanks

    This is just a quick guess.

    It is an array-entered formula. If you aren’t familiar with array-entered formulas array enter means the formula must be committed from edit mode by simultaneously pressing and holding down Ctrl and Shift while hitting Enter. You don't type those curly braces {} in yourself. It won't work if you do. Excel does it for you.
