Good day, I am newish to Visual Basic, apologies if this has been posted but i have searched through most of the forums and could not find this specific one. Basically what I need to do is a data sort from a file that information is not aligned properly.

It comes with information in Cell A, Cell B, Cell C, then Cell C2 (this cell needs to be text to column, comma sorted and then transposed), which I need to put in Cell A Cell B and Cell C.
The first part is easy, create a new data page, change data into columns (not sure if can avoid this step) as below:

VBA Code:
Columns("C:C").Select
    Selection.TextToColumns Destination:=Range("C1"), DataType:=xlDelimited, _
        TextQualifier:=xlDoubleQuote, ConsecutiveDelimiter:=False, Tab:=True, _
        Semicolon:=False, Comma:=True, Space:=False, Other:=False, FieldInfo _
        :=Array(Array(1, 2), Array(2, 2), Array(3, 2), Array(4, 2), Array(5, 2)), TrailingMinusNumbers:=True
    Sheets.Add After:=ActiveSheet
    Sheets("Sheet1").Select
    Sheets("Sheet1").Name = "Data Output"
    Sheets("Demo").Select
    Range("C1").Select
    Sheets("Data Output").Select
    ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "Cell A"
    Range("B1").Select
    ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "Cell B"
    Range("C1").Select
    ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "Cell C"
    Range("A2").Select
    Sheets("Demo").Select
    Range("B1").Select
    Selection.Copy
    Sheets("Data Output").Select
    ActiveSheet.Paste
    Application.CutCopyMode = False

Now i need to copy and paste the data from the demo sheet neatly into data output sheet but the cells in C2 need to be copied and transposed on data output sheet and then this code needs to be looped for every repeat of cell C1 & Cell C2 till no data in column C.

VBA Code:
   Range("B2").Select
    Sheets("Demo").Select
    Range("C1").Select
    Selection.Copy
    Sheets("Data Output").Select
    ActiveSheet.Paste
    Application.CutCopyMode = False
    Range("C2").Select
    Sheets("Demo").Select
    Range("C2:V2").Select
    Selection.Copy
    Sheets("Data Output").Select
    Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteAll, Operation:=xlNone, SkipBlanks:= _
        False, Transpose:=True
    Range("B2").Select
    Application.CutCopyMode = False
    Selection.Copy
    Range("B3:B5").Select
    ActiveSheet.Paste
    Application.CutCopyMode = False
    Range("A1").Select
  
  Application.CutCopyMode = False

Images attached shows before and after, so I just need to loop it, and the code above might be primitive to the professionals, done with recording. Thank you.

Anyways, the following is the condensed code from Post #1:

VBA Code:
    ActiveSheet.Range("C:C").TextToColumns Range("C1"), xlDelimited, _
        xlDoubleQuote, , True, , True, , , _
        FieldInfo:=Array(Array(1, xlTextFormat), Array(2, xlTextFormat), Array(3, xlTextFormat), Array(4, xlTextFormat), Array(5, xlTextFormat)), _
        TrailingMinusNumbers:=True
'
    Sheets.Add(After:=ActiveSheet).Name = "Data Output"
'
    Sheets("Data Output").Range("A1").FormulaR1C1 = "Cell A"            ' Write "Cell A" to cell A1 on Sheet 'Data Output'
    Sheets("Data Output").Range("B1").FormulaR1C1 = "Cell B"            ' Write "Cell B" to cell B1 on Sheet 'Data Output'
    Sheets("Data Output").Range("C1").FormulaR1C1 = "Cell C"            ' Write "Cell C" to cell C1 on Sheet 'Data Output'
'
    Sheets("Demo").Range("B1").Copy Sheets("Data Output").Range("A2")   ' Copy Range("B1") from the 'Demo' sheet to Range("A2") on sheet 'Data Output"
    Sheets("Demo").Range("C1").Copy Sheets("Data Output").Range("B2")   ' Copy Range("C1") from the 'Demo' sheet to Range("B2") on sheet 'Data Output"
'
    Sheets("Demo").Range("C2:V2").Copy                                  ' Copy/Transpose data from 'Demo' sheet to 'Data Output' sheet
    Sheets("Data Output").Range("C2").PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteAll, Operation:=xlNone, SkipBlanks:=False, Transpose:=True
'
    Sheets("Data Output").Range("B2").Copy Sheets("Data Output").Range("B3:B5")             ' Copy value from 'Data Output' B2 to B3:B5
    Sheets("Data Output").Range("A1").Select

Excel Facts

Format cells as date
Select range and press Ctrl+Shift+3 to format cells as date. (Shift 3 is the # sign which sort of looks like a small calendar).
Good day, apologies for delay, had riots this week in SA. Anyway. Yes that is the way i need it.

Here is the loop code that I came up with:

    Dim RowCounter                  As Long
'
    ActiveSheet.Range("C:C").TextToColumns Range("C1"), xlDelimited, _
        xlDoubleQuote, , True, , True, , , _
        FieldInfo:=Array(Array(1, xlTextFormat), Array(2, xlTextFormat), Array(3, xlTextFormat), Array(4, xlTextFormat), Array(5, xlTextFormat)), _
        TrailingMinusNumbers:=True

'
    Sheets("Data Output").Columns("A:C").ColumnWidth = 11.29            ' Set the width of Columns A - C on the 'Data Output' sheet

    LastRow = Sheets("Demo").Range("C" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row      ' Find Last used row in Coulmn C of the 'Demo' sheet

This should be considerably faster, particularly if the data is fairly large. It also does not require the text to columns on the 'Demo' sheet.

VBA Code:
Sub Data_Output()
  Dim a As Variant, b As Variant, itm As Variant
  Dim i As Long, k As Long
  
  a = Sheets("Demo").Range("B1", Sheets("Demo").Range("C" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp)).Value2
  ReDim b(1 To Rows.Count, 1 To 3)
  For i = 1 To UBound(a) - 1 Step 2
    If Len(a(i, 1)) > 0 Then b(k + 1, 1) = a(i, 1)
    For Each itm In Split(a(i + 1, 2), ",")
      k = k + 1
      b(k, 2) = a(i, 2): b(k, 3) = itm
    Next itm
  Next i
  Sheets.Add(After:=Sheets("Demo")).Name = "Data Output"
  With Sheets("Data Output")
    .Range("A1:C1").Value = Array("Cell A", "Cell B", "Cell C")
    With .Range("A2:C2").Resize(k)
      .Value = b
      .Columns.AutoFit
    End With
  End With
End Sub

Good day Gentlemen apologies for long delay, WOW, it worked lovely thank you. This did work perfect.

Thank you Peter, this was fast. Only thing with this is once it transposes, or moves data, all data needs to be in text format would that be possible incase any number has a 0 in front, this would remove the 0, so if the ID number in columns was 0227733, when run this it becomes 227733.

Other than that this is great.

This should be considerably faster, particularly if the data is fairly large. It also does not require the text to columns on the 'Demo' sheet.

VBA Code:
Sub Data_Output()
  Dim a As Variant, b As Variant, itm As Variant
  Dim i As Long, k As Long
 
  a = Sheets("Demo").Range("B1", Sheets("Demo").Range("C" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp)).Value2
  ReDim b(1 To Rows.Count, 1 To 3)
  For i = 1 To UBound(a) - 1 Step 2
    If Len(a(i, 1)) > 0 Then b(k + 1, 1) = a(i, 1)
    For Each itm In Split(a(i + 1, 2), ",")
      k = k + 1
      b(k, 2) = a(i, 2): b(k, 3) = itm
    Next itm
  Next i
  Sheets.Add(After:=Sheets("Demo")).Name = "Data Output"
  With Sheets("Data Output")
    .Range("A1:C1").Value = Array("Cell A", "Cell B", "Cell C")
    With .Range("A2:C2").Resize(k)
      .Value = b
      .Columns.AutoFit
    End With
  End With
End Sub

Sure, try this with just one new line added.

Rich (BB code):
Sub Data_Output()
  Dim a As Variant, b As Variant, itm As Variant
  Dim i As Long, k As Long
  
  a = Sheets("Demo").Range("B1", Sheets("Demo").Range("C" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp)).Value2
  ReDim b(1 To Rows.Count, 1 To 3)
  For i = 1 To UBound(a) - 1 Step 2
    If Len(a(i, 1)) > 0 Then b(k + 1, 1) = a(i, 1)
    For Each itm In Split(a(i + 1, 2), ",")
      k = k + 1
      b(k, 2) = a(i, 2): b(k, 3) = itm
    Next itm
  Next i
  Sheets.Add(After:=Sheets("Demo")).Name = "Data Output"
