Hi,

Would be great if someone could help me with the below request:

I have a a large database of about 200 rows. I am looking to split individual rows into additional rows without changing the preceding cells.

The below is an example:


What I have:[TABLE="width: 328"]
<tbody>[TR]
[TD]Name[/TD]
[TD]Country[/TD]
[TD] Sector[/TD]
[TD]Industry[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]KOLWEZI[/TD]
[TD]Nigeria[/TD]
[TD]Financials[/TD]
[TD]Mortgage[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[/TR]
[TR]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]KUMASI[/TD]
[TD]Ethiopia[/TD]
[TD]Materials[/TD]

I am able to do this manually my inserting columns and merging the preceding cells, my database if however to big to repeat this exercise over and over. I require the rows to be separate as the Action Item will be exported to a different sheet and ordered by priority, and the same time referencing the came and country.

Thank you in advance.
