Many Thanks ... Great Stuff.

Roger,

You've done it !!! Excellent

Only thing is it works for only row 6 and not 5 ...

Thanks,

Manir

Manir, I think (hope!) I understand more now...

Without seeing what you've got, this is very difficult. If you want to
attach a CSV go ahead - change confidential details first.

The follwing code will strip empty columns from E:IV first, which may
help...

Watch out for the Word Wrap!

Hi,

Not always the case. I want data in 5&6 because they will be branch
identifiers i.e. branch name and code. 8&9 are for data only. If we
delete
8&9 if blank it becomes difficult for me to identify which branch the
values
belong to.

Thanks,

Manir

If rows 5&6 are blank, will rows 8&9 also be blank?
If rows 8&9 are blank, will rows 5&6 also be blank?

If there' a consistency, it would be helpful...

Hi Roger,

Sorry for the confusion. Not all columns are blanks. It varies each
time I
run a report.

Column G rows 5&6 could be blank or it could say contain data for
eg.
Milton
Keynes. If it does then "Milton Keynes " data would be copied to
the
next
blank column.

I hope this helps.

Thanks,

Manir

Hi Manir,

Now you've lost me:
..... Similarly G5="Milton Keynes ,
G6="06120" then Milton Keynes should be copied say to G if
populated.

Milton Keynes copies to G (G5, presumably?)
If populated? Of if NOT populated?

If data is continually copied to the right, it will be leaving
holes
behind... Ok, so we could work in reverse, but that may
potentially
leave
columns E to (say) Z empty.

Any chance of that CSV copy, and a broader view of your objective?

Regards
Roger


Roger,

As per your email ... The Data should be copied from column "E"
onwards
to
the next blank column.eg. E5="Manchester E6= 0610 and if F5 and
F6
are
blank
then it should be copied to these cells. Similarly G5="Milton
Keynes ,
G6="06120" then Milton Keynes should be copied say to G if
populated.

I was thinking of running this process prior to deleting columns
if
row
8&9
are blank [for which you have already supplied code].

Hope this helps.

Thanks,

:

Rows 6 + 7 appear to be project creep!

I wish to delete columns from column "E" onwards which
have no
value
on
rows
8 and 9. Also I would like to place a "thick box
border"
around
rows
6
to
10
up to the and including the last column with data.

We don't usually like attachments, but can you attach a *CSV*
version
of
a
portion of your sheet? Please make sure you state clearly the
starting
cell
of the CSV (I'd prefer it to be A1, but if it isn't please
advise).

Regards
Roger

Hi Roger,

This works but causes another problem.When deleting the
columns
it
deletes
some of the headings which are in rows 6+7. Would it be
possible
to
copy
the
row headings from rows 6+7 to the next "blank" column to the
right
i.e.
it
contains data in rows 7 to 9 but has no heading detail in
rows
6+7.

It follows that if there are 2 blanks columns after the row
heading
then
it
should be copied to the next to these blank cells. Eg if
"Birmingham"
row
6
and "060300" is row 7is in column E and F&G are blank then it
should
be
copied to F&G.

Thanks,

Manir
