Im trying to get these tasks accomplished in excel but I think I am asking to much of a macro. I know some of these things are easy but others are kicking my butt. But im sure someone out there knows better then me about it. I tried to explain it as well as I could but feel free to ask any follow up questions.

[FONT=&quot]1. Have it save all these columns and delete all others.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Contact ID, Contact Type, Source, Primary FirstName, Primary LastName, Company, Primary Birthday, Email Address, Home Phone, Bus Phone, Mobile Phone, Contact Notes, House Number, Street, Street Designator, Suite No, City, State, Zip, [/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]2. merge the data from “House Number, Street, Street Designator” into a single cell called “address[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]3. There are places where there is a line break or carriage return in a single cell. These need to be removed and converted to something like a * so that the cell ends up being one single line[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]4. In Field “Zip” please force a 5 digit number. Where we are all our zip codes start with a 0 zip excel removes it. Set it so that if the zip is a 4 digit number that it will put a 0 at the beginning[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]5. Field “Contact ID” is the identifier of each person. The number in this field is duplicated several times for some people because of the way the export handles certain notes for each user. Most of the data is the same between two rows with the same ID, the main row has data in the “Contact, Source” fields and the other rows that have the same “Contact ID” are the notes. I only need the addresses from the secondary rows moved into the “Notes” field of the primary row[/FONT]
 
Think it might be a character 13. Try this
Code:
Sub CleanUpData()

   Dim usdRws As Long
   
   usdRws = Cells.Find("*", SearchOrder:=xlByRows, SearchDirection:=xlPrevious).Row

   Range("D:D,G:N,P:P,S:W,Y:Z,AB:AJ,AL:AT,AW:CI,CK:CK,CN:CN,CP:CQ,CS:CS,CV:IK").Delete
   With Range("P2:P" & usdRws)
      .Value = Evaluate(.Offset(, -2).Address & " & "" "" & " & .Offset(, -1).Address & "& "" "" & " & .Address)
      .Value = Application.trim(.Value)
   End With
   Range("P1").Value = "Address"
   Range("N:O").Delete
   Range("R:R").NumberFormat = "00000"
   Cells.Replace Chr(13), " ", xlPart, , , , False, False
End Sub
