    Taking Info from repeating tables

    I have a spreadsheet with repeating tables of different data, arranged something like this.

    40-50-60-70-80
    50-60-70-80-90
    30-40-50-60-70
    A-B
    40-50-60-70-80
    50-60-70-80-90
    30-40-50-60-70
    C-D
    40-50-60-70-80
    50-60-70-80-90
    30-40-50-60-70
    E-F

    This repeats around 3000 times. I want to extract certain values and arrange them in rows for each repetition. For example, I want the A-B tag at the bottom of each set of data, and the third and fourth value of the second row. So, in a new sheet they would be arranged like this:

    A-B-70-80
    C-D-70-80
    E-F-70-80

    and so on.

    I hope this makes sense, thanks if anyone can help.

    Re: Taking Info from repeating tables

    The file I am using is on a computer without internet access, so I cannot upload that, but I will upload an example with a similar format.

    In the example file there are matrixes that repeat over and over in the same format. I want the cells that are highlighted in the file to be transferred to a new sheet, such that they will come up as:

    John Smith-88-19-97-35
    Jake Brown-50-35-60-49
    Jennifer Jones-64-81-44-87
    Alex Henry-98-63-10-3
    Mike Johnson-79-48-72-9

    Does this make sense?
