jeff@jlh Importing from HTML to Excel Horizontially
I have the need to import thousands of contacts from internet lists. The lists are usually vertical instead of horizontal. In other words, when I copy and paste into Excel, all the data goes into column A. I need for the name to be in column A, the phone # in column B, etc. I'm sure there is a way to pivot the data around and have tried using pivot tables but no luck so far. Currently, I am having to cut and paste the data into the columns I need so it imports into SalesForce. Anybody solved this issue before?
When you do copy and paste in excel then your records comes Vertically insteadof horizontally.In this case you can use Excel property by this way: Right click on cell -> Paste Special -> Transpose.
Hope this helps.
Thank you. That will save me time. Also, some of the data transfers within a cell. For example, "city, state, and zip code" all appear on the same line on the web site and when I transfer to Excel, all 3 variables end up in the same cell. Currently, I am selecting the values individaully and moving them to their proper cell. Is there a way to transpose or perform some other operation on the data so that it transfers each of these values into an individual cell?
