Transferring specific numbers from a column to a column
How do I move the specific numbers to a column that correspond to the numbers.. Kindly assist For example 1,2,3,5,9 and they are about 500 and I want to copy for example 9 to column 9..
Hi Mtumushi
If I understand the requirement correctly, you need below formula:
=IFERROR(INDEX($A:$A,MATCH(COLUMN(),$A:$A,0),1),"")
Please let me know if it works for you. A sample file is also attached for your reference.
Thanks

Where are these numbers to start with?
The numbers are in Excel in one cell. I have downloaded them from ODK data base and now want to align them to a specific answer in for example transfer 7 to column 7.
1, 2, 7

Here is a macro you can run. It assumes that the values are in column A, starting in A1.
Sub MoveNumbers() Dim r As Long Dim m As Long Dim a() As String Dim i As Long Dim c As Long Application.ScreenUpdating = False m = Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row For r = 1 To m a = Split(Cells(r, 1).Value, ", ") Cells(r, 1).ClearContents For i = 0 To UBound(a) c = a(i) Cells(r, c).Value = c Next i Next r Application.ScreenUpdating = True End Sub- Do you have some little time we do a video....
I can't do a video conference, if that's what you mean.
