I want to process a large amount of data. It's not possible to do it manually.
I want to make the source(eg 1) into form like(eg 2).
[eg 1]
a1;a2;a3
b1;b2;b3;b4
c1;c2
[eg 2]
a1
a2
a3
b1
b2
b3
b4
c1
c2
However, I can only be able to transform it into this form.
a1 a2 a3
b1 b2 b3 b4
c1 c2
=============================================================================== Thank you very much. And I have another thing to do. I want to do it more advance.
let x be any # and here be 21
[eg 1]
a1;a2;a3
b1;b2;b3;b4
c1;c2
[eg 2]
21 a1
21 a2
21 a3
22 b1
22 b2
22 b3
22 b4
23 c1
23 c2
space means that they are in different cells.
Thanks~~
Assuming a1;a2;a3 is in cell A1 , try this small macro to place the results in column B :
Sub ReArrange()
Dim N As Long, i As Long, BigString As String
N = Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row
BigString = Range("A1").Value
For i = 2 To N
BigString = BigString & ";" & Cells(i, 1).Value
Next i
i = 1
ary = Split(BigString, ";")
For Each a In ary
Cells(i, 2).Value = a
i = i + 1
Next a
End Sub
EDIT#1:
based on your need for the extra column, this macro asks for the initial value and places the results in columns A and B :
Sub ReArrangeII()
Dim N As Long, i As Long, BigString As String
Dim M As Long, j As Long
N = Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row
M = Application.InputBox(Prompt:="enter initial value", Type:=1)
j = 1
For i = 1 To N
BigString = Cells(i, 1).Value
ary = Split(BigString, ";")
u = UBound(ary) + 1
For Each a In ary
Cells(j, 2).Value = M
Cells(j, 3).Value = a
j = j + 1
Next a
M = M + 1
Next i
End Sub
