VBA would be a better option and the data can then be modified insitu rather than creating another table !!

 

[Rick Rothstein]

Do you really need "live" formula for columns "H:L"? If not, select Columns A:E and press CTRL+C to copy them... then select cell H1 and press CTRL+V to paste them at that location... with the pasted values still selected, press the F5 key and then click the "Special" button... select "Blanks" on the dialog page the appears and then click the OK button... click the down arrow on the Delete button on the Ribbon (Home tab, Cells panel) and click the "Delete Cells" item... select the "Shift cells left" option button and click the OK button... you are done.

If you wanted to create this second table using a VBA macro instead...

[table="width: 500"]
[tr]
	[td]Sub DeleteBlanksMoveDateLeft()
  Range("A1").CurrentRegion.Copy Range("H1")
  Range("H1").CurrentRegion.SpecialCells(xlBlanks).Delete xlShiftToLeft
End Sub[/td]
[/tr]
[/table]

HOW TO INSTALL MACROs
------------------------------------
If you are new to macros, they are easy to install and use. To install it, simply press ALT+F11 to go into the VB editor and, once there, click Insert/Module on its menu bar, then copy/paste the above code into the code window that just opened up. That's it.... you are done. To use the macro, go back to the worksheet with your data on it and press ALT+F8, select the macro name (DeleteBlanksMoveDateLeft) from the list that appears and click the Run button. The macro will execute and perform the action(s) you asked for. If you will need to do this again in this same workbook, and if you are using XL2007 or above, make sure you save your file as an "Excel Macro-Enabled Workbook (*.xlsm) and answer the "do you want to enable macros" question as "Yes" or "OK" (depending on the button label for your version of Excel) the next time you open your workbook.
