insert rows and copying cells in column b,c, and d into new rows

G

gbpg

I currently have a spreadsheet that contains many rows of information
exported from another application. In column a I have the same rows repeated
through out which are five rows; starting at row 1 and ending at row 6,
repeated at row 7 and ending at row 12. In column B I have data relating to
the title in column A ,in colum C I have the title for the the data in D.

Essentially what I need to do is the following:

1) copy the data in in column b every sixth row and pasting into the fifth
row
paste the data from the the second row colum c and d into column a and b
into now blank row six (repeated every sixth row through out)
- insert 3 rows after every 6th row and then:
paste the data from the third, fourth, and fifth rows columns c and d into
column a and b of rows seven, eight, and nine (repeated through out)

I am not sure what you mean by before and after? What I have now is four columns that have the subject in the first row and column A and then text in columns b,c, and d in rows 1 to 5. I want all of the information in the same column. To do this I need to cut the information (text) in columns b,c,d into rows in column A. I am doing this so I can convert to a text file and import into Access 97 which does not import .xls files.

Where do you want to copy the data (in the middle or end of data) an
how many times do you want to repeat the process
