Excel 2010 - Flattening of Data in 1 Row
Hi Attached please find the sample data.
Currently there are multiple rows for the Account #. RA Date and RD Date are the only 2 columns that are different for each row.
I want the data flattened in 1 row so that all data is in one row for each account number. How can I do this in Excel? I am a beginner Excel person.
Thanks

Some accounts may have more than 4 rows; in my example I used only 4 but I know some other Accounts have 6 or even more rows!
so then how do we flatten ... you will not have the same header !!! as when you have:
for 3 you will have
RA Date RD Date RA Date1 RD Date1 RA Date2 RD Date2
for 6 you will have
RA Date RD Date RA Date1 RD Date1 RA Date2 RD Date2 RA Date3 RD Date3 RA Date4 RD Date4 RA Date5 RD Date5
etc ....
so data will not be aligned in column ???
May I ask what are you trying to achieve ? maybe we can understand better what you want ?

Question
Will there always be 4 rows for every Account ? or more or less ?
Presume you will have Accounts like this
BA1234
BA1234
BA1234
BA1234
BA1235
BA1235
BA1236
BA1236
BA1236
BA1236
etc...
and you want to end up with
BA1234
BA1235
BA1236
and all its related info in the columns right ?

What about the complaint and the names, do they have to be the same or is it only the account?
Did you had a chance to check out my comment ?

Sorry for the Delay! I was out of town! Thank you for the response though.
The end users want to see the data flattened in 1 Row. Only difference if for RADate and RDDate. I enquired more and they are ok with 6 dates as below in 1 Row along with other columns.
RA Date RD Date RA Date1 RD Date1 RA Date2 RD Date2 RA Date3 RD Date3 RA Date4 RD Date4 RA Date5 RD Date5
Can this be done now that there are fixed # of columsn requested? Thanks

Fine let me recap if we have 3 it would go on the first 3 then the rest in the appropriate columns if 4 the first 4 etc... and this size would be fix right ?
Second question you want to flatten on a new sheet ? would be easier to read ?
Third can you post more data so the test would be better ?

do you always have 4 rows for every Account ? or it may vary some 4 some 3 some 6 ... ?
then you want to endup with 1 row for each Account and all the columns as per your example then again will the columns vary or they are what you showed ?
