    Hello guys,

    I can easily copy and paste from spread 1 to 2 but can't get it to paste at the end of the existing data in spread 1..


    Question # 2

    Is there any way to move data from the end of the rows to another place in the same row..
    I want to move the numbers on the end to where the red arrows are pointing (Behind the word halco)

    Re: Appeding data to existing rows

    In answer to questions 1, there is an easy way to do this by using a formula.

    If the Data was on Sheet 1 Cell B2 and Sheet 2 Cell D5, Then you can simply find a blank Cell say Cell C2 to begin your formula. =((select Cell B2) & " " & (select cell D5). This would combine the cells and then you could copy and paste special over the old data.

    If this works, press the star at bottom left.

    In answer to Question #2, Yes. Assuming you had cell A1 that said 2012ABCD. If you want to parce that Cell Data and grab just the first 4 digits on the left you could type in cell A2 =Left(A1,4) and it would give you 2012. If you wanted the right 4 characters from A1 you could type in cell A3, =Right(A1,4) which would return ABCD.

    Does this help?

    Question 2, you can use the text to columns feature and then do what I said in #1 Or you could type in a blank cell say D3, =Left(C3,6) & Right(C3,6) assuming that your data was in Column C and copy down.
