    Need help with copying data from cells

    I currently need to get the data from an entire column of cells, and add them to column. The thing is, the data in the column is not a straight line, there are blank cells in between data entrys in the column.

    Basically, i need to copy the data values only from the cells that contain data, where it is put in one neat straight line in another column.


    Hopefully this makes sense...

    Select the column, use Edit / Go To... Special, constants (if your data is actually constant
    values) then OK. Ctrl-C, then select a cell at the top of your other column and press Ctrl-V.

    ahh. sorry, i forgot to mention that this needs to automatic.

    I could use a filter to filter all the data by NonBlank.. however, if there is data added to the filtered column, it does to add them to the filter range. In other words, the data is in the column, just not getting filtered untill you unfilter then filter again.

    Everything MUST be done automatically... which makes it hard

    paulket,

    Would a macro work for you? Tell us what sheet/column/cells for the source, and what
    sheet/column/cell for the copied values. And do you want to over-write old values?

    hmm.. macro. diddnt think of that.

    I suppose I could use a macro to filter it then assign it to a form button.
    Although it wont be automatic, it will however be very simple to use. Unless you can actually have a macro that constantly repeates it's self untill the spreadsheet is closed?

    The sheet is comparing a list of products on a spreadsheet to an updated spreadsheet, which it then gets the new products that are not listed.
