Dear Expert,

I have a table which was delivered by a customer and is being messed up. What I want to do is to move/shift data/ROW/Column from one to another within the same Table.

Data in the table was initially converted from EXCEL to MS-Access and column heading is inside the recordsets.

Does anyone has VBA Scripts or solution to this or sometime similar solution???

Below is an example of how the table are wrongly organised:

Tablename: GeneralPractitioner

-------------------------------------------
Row1 |Johnson |20,MC Road | 40 |
------|---------------|-----------|--------|
Row2 |GPName | GPAddress | Age |
------|---------------|-----------|--------|
Row3 | |0795654536 |38 |
------|---------------|-----------|--------|
Row2 |GPContactPhone | GPAddress |Sex |
------|---------------|-----------|--------|
Row3 |John | |Male |
------|---------------|-----------|--------|
Row4 |Sex |Specialist |BloodGP |
------|---------------|-----------|--------|
Row5 |Dalton |James |O+ |
------|---------------|-----------|--------|
Row6 |Daylin |Tayo |O+ |
--------------------------------------------
Row7 |GPContactPhone | GPAddress |Sex |
------|---------------|-----------|--------|
Row8 |GPName | GPAddress | Age |
--------------------------------------------

Now, I want the table to be re-organise and should look like below assuming I have more than 15,000 records

----------|-----------|---|----------------|------|------
GPName | GPAddress |Age| GPContactPhone |BldGP |Sex
Dalton |20,MC Road |38 | 0795654536 |O+ | Male
John |20,MC Road |40 | 06978954536 |O+ | Male
----------------------------------------------------------

Please Help!.

1. Create a new query
2. Choose the "GeneralPractitioner" table
3. For Query-Type, select "Delete"
4. Double-click the field that has "GPContactPhone" values so it is in the grid
5. In the criteria section, paste ""GPContactPhone"

Run the query

You may need to do similar for the "Sex" column
