Sheet1


Need to get the column into desired output.
FWIW It doesn't matter how many rows in between the data in the desired output.
As long as I can get one invoices details into one row, I am happy.
How best can I get about this?

If the previous post has not resolved your issue ..

1. Does every INV section contain exactly 8 rows like your samples?

2. Are you looking for a particular approach (eg Formulas, Macro, PowerQuery)?

3. About how big is the data likely to be (that is, total rows in the original data)?

C1: =OFFSET($A$1,(8*(ROW()-ROW(C$1)))+(COLUMN()-COLUMN($C1)),0,1,1)
drag 8 to the right / and in this case 2 down

or formula: =IF((8*(ROW()-ROW(L$1)))+(COLUMN()-COLUMN($L1))>=ROWS($A$1:$A$16),"",OFFSET($A$1,(8*(ROW()-ROW(L$1)))+(COLUMN()-COLUMN($L1)),0,1,1))
can be used when the number of elements in the source column is variable but some maximum number of elements is known.

Hi Peter,
I just had a look at the data and not every INV section is exactly 8 rows. Most of them are 8 rows but there a handful that are 9 or 10 rows.
[FONT=Verdana,Arial,Tahoma,Calibri,Geneva,sans-serif]
https://1drv.ms/x/s!AvjBsEPEq12ngSf1Y0NtNKb5St6R?e=gMv2u3
​
[/FONT]
FWIW this is the PDF of the data I copied and pasted to Excel: [FONT=Verdana,Arial,Tahoma,Calibri,Geneva,sans-serif]https://ibb.co/RNBPczT
I suppose I could copy/paste the data which produce 8 rows (and use Sandy's formulas) and manually work on the 9 or 10 row producing entries.
[/FONT]
Final output is about 60 rows.
The 'raw' data of one column has about 400 rows.

Using formulas or Power Query would be the preferred method.

Here is a formula method that would cope with different size sections.
To keep the formulas a bit shorter I have used two helper columns (B:C) which could be hidden once populated.
Formulas in B1, C1 & D1 copied down as far as you might ever need (after adjusting the $400 if needed)
Formula in E1 is copied across as far as you might ever need and down as far as the earlier formulas.
You may need to format the date and number columns appropriately after copying the formulas.
