Hello

I have data in one file and would like tomput it into a separate file to look like a Database.

"COLUMN A" "COLUMN B" "COLUMN C"

Depr 979,501 1,038,884
Def Taxes (152,160) 61,540
Gain(Loss) (1,140,864) (143,506)

Can you help me create a Lookup function to be able to grab this information to a separate file?
Thanks- Jason
 
How about highlight your existing data.
Edit, Copy
Edit,PasteSpecial,Transpose

If that is not what you want then please clarify your requirement.

Are your negative numbers recognised as numbers by excel or have they been entered with brackets and are consequently recognised only as text?

What columns do you want in your database?

Does your existing data extend to further columns or further rows?
