From Rows to
Hi, I made a spreadsheet of addresses with the rows formatted across as:
name, address, city, state, zip. name2,address2,city2,state2,zip2 However, now I would like to change the format to name, address, city, state, zip <space name2, address2, ... ... of each person. Does anyone know how to do this? Thanks! -- Message posted via http://www.officekb.com |

One way:
In a second sheet (assuming your list is on Sheet1), enter in A1: =IF(MOD(ROW(),6),OFFSET(Sheet1!$A$1,INT((ROW()-1)/6), MOD(ROW()-1,6)),"") Copy down as far as necessary. Select column A. Copy it. Choose Edit/Paste Special, selecting the Values radio button.

Thank you!
Excuse my ignorance, but how could you copy this command all the way down without pasting each time? Also, would you happen to know if word's mail merge has a bug? I tried importing these to mail merge, but it says that word is unable to open the data source. -- Message posted via http://www.officekb.com |

Copy down to 6 times the number of current rows. Or paste the formula
into all those rows. No difference. In general, Mail Merge doesn't have a bug. But if you're using the file as the source for a merge, I'd recommend leaving it in rowss. Without knowing which versions you're using, and which OS, it's hard to even take a guess what the problem is. Did you save the XL file?

If the reason you're trying to change the format of your list is to use it
in MailMerge, and you think that the vertical format will work better on labels or envelopes, IT'S NOT SO. Leave your data list in it's proper form, and MailMerge will work just as good, if not better, with your present configuration. -- HTH, RD ============================================== Please keep all correspondence within the Group, so all may benefit! ============================================== "R B via OfficeKB.com" wrote in message ...
