    Re: Cleaning up data

    Why do you want to do this? Unless you specifically are wanting to do this for data entry purposes for a legacy system, you would be better off putting your data in a table, and then use a pivot table to produce the output you describe.

    Ie, Create a table with the following headings
    Sku, description, size, location, quantity.

    Then insert a pivot table.

    Would that work?

    Re: Cleaning up data

    Mallycat,
    I understand what you are saying, but it won't work. The primary reason is that the format which the data is in is not recognized by excel as being a list which can be imported into a pivot table.
    What I am specifically asking is how to get it into a table format. Perhaps I wasn't clear on that. The headings are not standard and the data falls into a unique format based on how many locations have the product. I am asking how to get my data into a standard format which I could later import into a pivot table.
    Thanks!
