Re: how to combine several columns into a single column

Jim,

Put this in A31, and copy down.

=OFFSET(A31,-(INT((ROW()-1)/30))*30,INT((ROW()-1)/30),1,1)

Empty cells will give you zero. You can then convert the formulas to hard
data: Copy the entire column, then paste it over itself with Edit - Paste
special - Values. Now you don't need the stuff in columns B, C, etc.
