    Cool Need help re-formatting data

    I need some help changing the format of data I have copied off the web into a usable spreadsheet. It's a list of wineries and it's in a box-like format. I need to convert this format into columns. It has hundreds of wineries listed and there are 3 rows between each new block of data. I've attached sample data.

    Any suggestions or help creating a macro would be much appreciated.

    Thanks!

    Hello jerickson,

    It would help to know which columns will hold what information. Can you provide an example of the desired output?

    That would help, wouldn't it?! I updated the sampledata.xlsx file. Tab 1 is the data and Ta 2 is the desired output. Let me know if that helps.

    Hello jerickson,

    One more request what should the reformatted data look like? I know you said it should be in columns. Should it be transferred from the box top to bottom and left to right into single columns?

    If I understand your question correctly, then yes. Essentially take the data from the box format in Tab 1 and put it into single column format like Tab 2. I excluded the website url and the toll free phone fields. Does that help?
