Automated way to merge and remove hard returns in a column
I have created a table from a report. One column has many words, which wrap
into several rows during 'convert text to table,' while all the other columns could fit on one row, as shown in Fig. A. I would like to end up like Fig. B, but It's a real PITA to do the merges and return-removals manually. Anyone got a solution? I'm happy to massage the data externally if necessary. |COLUMN1 |COLUMN2 |COLUMN3 | |----------|------------|----------| |Few Words |Many many wo|Few Words | |----------|------------|----------| | |rds are in t| | |----------|------------|----------| Fig. A | |his column, | | |----------|------------|----------| | |and they hav| | |----------|------------|----------| | |e hard retur| | |----------|------------|----------| | |ns embedded | | |----------|------------|----------| | |for every ro| | |----------|------------|----------| | |w. | | |----------|------------|----------| ================================================== === |COLUMN1 |COLUMN2 |COLUMN3 | |----------|------------|----------| |Few Words |Many many wo|Few Words | | |rds are in t| | Fig. B | |his column, | | | |and they hav| | | |e hard retur| | | |ns embedded | | | |for every ro| | | |w. | | |----------|------------|----------| Thanks, Ed |
