Combine elements of a report to create a list

Hi Experts,

A low-tech vendor sends me reports in Excel with the customer name and ID on a different line than the related records. I want to run a procedure that puts the information identifying the customer on the same line as the invoice data. In other words, I need to tag the invoice data with the customer ID from Col B and the Customer name from COL D. The goal is to get a list that can be used for pivot tables or import.

Attached is a workbook with the bad data that I get in one tab and the result I need in the other tab.

Thanks for your help experts!

You practice a lot. You can check out the Excel VBA for Dummies by John Walkenbach, hang around EE and start trying to answer questions, record some macros and look at the code you get (though it won't be very good code for sure).

You can also hang out at the following sites, as quoted from Brad Yundt:

"A person interested in Excel will find numerous solutions to standard problems on sites run by Chip Pearson http://www.cpearson.com/excel/topic.aspx http://www.cpearson.com/excel/topic.aspx, John Walkenbach http://spreadsheetpage.com/index.php/site/tips/, Jon Peltier http://peltiertech.com/, Debra Dalgleish http://contextures.com/tiptech.html, and Ron de Bruin http://www.rondebruin.nl/ "
