I have attached a file exported from an accounting software to excel which inserts the data and merges cells unnecessarily.

Can someone do a macro for me to convert this format to a more excellish layout?

VBA: Reformat data exported from software to excel.

Microsoft Excel topics include formulas, formatting, VBA macros and user-defined functions, and everything else related to the spreadsheet user interface, including error messages.
