Hi

I have a lot of columns, around 400 and I'm trying to stack this columns on top of each other, making single column.
In this example I would like to stack columns 3,4,5, 6 into a single column..and columns 1 and 2 to be repeated as many times as needed.
Is there any solution to do that instead of doing it manually?
Thank you very much


this is example

Book1.xlsx
ABCDEF
1123456
2A1B1161116
3A2B2271217
4A3B3381318
5A4B4491419
6A5B55101520

and the result

Excel Facts

Will the fill handle fill 1, 2, 3?
Yes! Type 1 in a cell. Hold down Ctrl while you drag the fill handle.
Assuming that row 1 is your header, and the data starts on row 2, try this:
VBA Code:
Sub MyStackColumns()

    Dim lr As Long
    Dim lc As Long
    Dim c As Long
    Dim nr As Long
    
    Application.ScreenUpdating = False
    
'   Find last row in column A with data
    lr = Cells(Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row

'   Find last column in row 1 with data
    lc = Cells(1, Columns.Count).End(xlToLeft).Column
    
'   Exit if last column is less than 4 (nothing to do)
    If lc < 4 Then Exit Sub
        
'   Loop through all columns, staring with column D
    For c = 4 To lc
'       Find first available row to paste to
        nr = Cells(Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row + 1
'       Copy columns A and B
        Range("A2:B" & lr).Copy Cells(nr, "A")
'       Copy data to column C
        Range(Cells(2, c), Cells(lr, c)).Cut Range("C" & nr)
    Next c
    
    Application.ScreenUpdating = True
    
End Sub

Solution
Try:
VBA Code:
Sub StackCols()
    Application.ScreenUpdating = False
    Dim LastRow As Long, lCol As Long, x As Long
    lCol = ActiveSheet.Cells(1, Columns.Count).End(xlToLeft).Column
    LastRow = Cells.Find("*", SearchOrder:=xlByRows, SearchDirection:=xlPrevious).Row
    For x = 4 To lCol
        Cells(Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Offset(1).Resize(LastRow - 1, 2).Value = Range("A2").Resize(LastRow - 1, 2).Value
        Cells(Rows.Count, "C").End(xlUp).Offset(1).Resize(LastRow - 1, 2).Value = Cells(2, x).Resize(LastRow - 1).Value
    Next x
    Range("D1").Resize(, lCol - 3).EntireColumn.Delete
    Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub
