In your second example relating to text, I wonder if you would be able to add
column number, as you did for values and then get the correct text in the
correct column.
In my example, I have business cards which mostly have a random number of
fields
So business card1 might have
Col A Col B Col C
1 Name Joe
2 Add1 Bay St
3 Tel 4421
4 Email Joe@XX
Business card2 might have only 2 fields
Col A Col B Col C
1 Name Dave
4 Email Dave@XX
But I want to transpose my data so that
name is always in col1, add1 is always in col2, tel is always in col3, email
is in col4
Actually it is more complex than that as I have 5,000 business cards each
with a random number of fields up to 20 and I need a layout that has one row
for each name, with the text/ numbers stretching out across the 20 columns in
correct field order, with gaps where there is no field

You say your data is in columns and you show rows???? Also, does col A
actually have numbers 1-4?
