Utility to manage excel row and column data, any?
(OP)
Dear Pals
Back in DOS days, we had a software that efficiently managed any row and column data from a text file. It was great. You tell it to move column 1 to column 8, keep column 8 in column 3 and multiply contents by 12. And it used to do all that. You give it a set of numbers and ask it to look for them in column 1 and report only rows with that number.
Sure Access does that, but I am a hardcore Excel fan and am no good with multiple application.
Anyone knows of a utility or a shareware or a code that can do that to data in an excel spreasheet?
My respects

to move row(s) or column(s), simply select the row number/column letter.
move mouse to edge of highlighted row(s)/column(s) until crosshars are displayed.
depress mouse button and move selection to desired location.
good luck!

I agree with the rest: What you describe is either standard excell stuff or lookup things.
Besides if you have large number of data e.g. sales lists or parts list then the pivot table is a fairly great tool for summarizing these tables.

It would be nice if you have a utility which you run, pass an excel file name, choose some options, like switch places for some 20columns of data
Wont it?
That is what I am after. I can actually code it, but simply thought someone knows some existing stuff

However, if you insist, the macro recorder may be your friend. Just turn it on, do what you want to do and save the recorded actions as a macro.
Sounds like you should be using a database though, not a spreadsheet.
