I have a personal project that requires obtaining information from multiple cells in a worksheet and transferring that various information to other worksheets. I have no knowledge of macro, but I know what I need to have done must be be done with a macro.. I seek the help of the Excel gurus to offer me with a code (and hopefully explain how it works). I AM HOPING THE EXPERTS WILL HELP ME WITH THIS CHALLENGE.

Since there is no guarantee the information in a particular row for every instance, I need Excel to look for a string in Column A and then find the contents of the cell beneath (or adjacent to) that string.. and then make a list of that information on a different worksheet.

The information will be manually copied/pasted onto SHEET1 by me before I run the macro.. most of the relevant data will be in Column A and B

1) When the macro is run in SHEET1, I want Excel to look along columns A:B and find the Employee#, the Last name, the First name, the gender, and the date of birth and copy that data on a separate sheet (called LIST1). The next time the macro is run, Excel should copy the new information below the previous entry. Also, it would be good to have Excel notice the MALE or FEMALE in SHEET1 and convert that to "Mr." or "Ms."

2)When the macro is run in SHEET1, I also want Excel to form a similar list on worksheet LIST2. In this worksheet, I need Excel to concatenate the three names of the employee and enter it in one cell; and enter the employee# and the adjacent cell. Similar to LIST1, Excel should copy the new data below the previous entry.

3)In the worksheet FORM1, I want Excel to copy certain information from SHEET1 all concatenated in one cell. I intend to use this to print the address on envelopes. So in FORM1 in one particular cell, Excel should copy the three names; drop down a line; copy STREET1 and STREET2 with a space in between; drop a line; copy the CITY, STATE, and ZIP (with the necessary spaces and comma) or the "Primary Address". When the macro is run again, Excel should simply write the new information over the previous in that same cell.

4) In worksheet FORM2, the function will be similar to FORM1 except that on this worksheet, Excel uses the information found under "Mailing Address" in SHEET1

JLGWhiz, I thank you for your reply. FYI, the location of the data is not exactly in random places. It always appears in column A or B - like it is supposed to be. The row is the issue. The data may appear in +/- one or two rows.. but always next to its respective title.

How to fill five years of quarters?
Type 1Q-2023 in a cell. Grab the fill handle and drag down or right. After 4Q-2023, Excel will jump to 1Q-2024. Dash can be any character.

Then your illustration does not coincide with your narrative. I suggest that you get your thoughts organized and start a new thread with a clear description of what you need and a valid illustration or screen shot of the data that needs to be addressed.
