Hi Everyone,

I am working on a project that takes manually entered data in a horizontal layout and converts into a vertical data table. I have already built several things in the workbook to automate the process of data entry but am now stuck on the portion that will convert the data into a more vertical style data table.

Here is what the current report looks like:

Mock Data


For the sample data my PreChecks end at #2 but my working file goes out to #5 so will need to factor that in with any suggestions made.

What I am hoping to achieve is to Paste the values from Column A:K in a new Sheet "Mock Table" and append the Precheck Comments to the right of the data and also include the Precheck number at the end of the pasted data. There are occasions where there is more than one PreCheck that happen on the same row which is why I need to spin the data into a more vertical style table (see below example).

Here is what I am hoping the new Table would look like. You can see in the example Row 2 And 3 have the same details from Columns A:K but the PreCheck data was from two different numbers. This is what I am hoping to achieve. Also, in the event that there is no data in the Precheck fields the code will skip that section and move to the next. Any ideas are appreciated. ?

Excel Facts

Convert text numbers to real numbers
Select a column containing text numbers. Press Alt+D E F to quickly convert text to numbers. Faster than "Convert to Number"
Try this

VBA Code:
Sub Build_Report()
  Dim a As Variant, b As Variant
  Dim i As Long, j As Long, k As Long, lr As Long, lc As Long, m As Long
  
  With Sheets("Mock Data")
    lr = .Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(3).Row
    lc = .Cells(5, Columns.Count).End(1).Column
    a = .Range("A4", Sheets("Mock Data").Cells(lr, lc)).Value2
  End With
  ReDim b(1 To UBound(a) * Int((lc - 11) / 4), 1 To 16)
  
  For i = 3 To UBound(a, 1)
    For j = 12 To UBound(a, 2) Step 5
      If a(i, j) & a(i, j + 1) & a(i, j + 2) & a(i, j + 3) <> "" Then
        m = m + 1
        For k = 1 To 11
          b(m, k) = a(i, k)
        Next k
        b(m, 12) = a(i, j)
        b(m, 13) = a(i, j + 1)
        b(m, 14) = a(i, j + 2)
        b(m, 15) = a(i, j + 3)
        b(m, 16) = a(1, j)
      End If
    Next j
  Next i
  
  Sheets("Mock Table").Range("A2").Resize(m, 16).Value = b
End Sub

That was amazing! Worked exactly how I needed it.

I am still super confused on how these style of macros work but they work great!

Thanks again Dante!
