Organizing data in Excel to be applied to arcMAP - excel

I have data in an excel spreadsheet. It is arranged as follows: 6 rows with 15 columns. Then a 7th row with 8 columns. Then 6 rows with 15 columns and a 7th row with 8 columns. This repeats down the spreadsheet. There are 441 'blocks' of this pattern.
There are two options that I have for this data.
Option 1: I would like it to be in a single column, so the values from the first row are now the first 15 values in column 1, then the values from the second row are now the next 15 values in column 1, and so on.
Option 2: I would like the values to be formatted in a grid that is 98 columns ad 441 rows. The data from the first 'block' would be the first row. the data from the second 'block' would be the second row.
Is there any way that this can be done?

Option 1 is possible with unpivoting. Assuming your data starts in A1, insert a new row at the top and a new column at the left and apply the steps detailed here. From the Table delete the left-hand two columns and filter the remaining column to delete blank rows.
For Option 2 consider OFFSET.

converting columns in one rows and splitting to next row with same header

i have a data sheet where there are 5 entries of gate passes in a single row. now to evaluate the rows, i need the data to be divided into rows for the same single row of 5 items.

plz help.

How would I delete a row of data if none of the cells are empty?

I have a spreadsheet with sales data for a given month for a number of different stores. There are approximately 450 rows (stores) to go through. The days of the month are in row 1, starting in column B, with the store numbers in column A, starting in row 2. What I need to find are the rows that are missing data for different days. I can use conditional formatting to highlight the cells that are empty, but that is still a lot to look at. What I am trying to do is reduce the amount of cells to look at by deleting any rows that are not missing data. So if a row is not missing any days of data, then I don't need to look at it, and can delete it. But if it is missing data, then keep the row.
I'm stuck on figuring out the actual code, but I have come up with pseudo code for what I want:
foreach row in range ($B$2:$AB$450)
foreach cell in row
if cell < 1
delete row
end foreach
end foreach
Here is an example of the spreadsheet:
A B C D
1 12/1/2019 12/2/2019 12/3/2019
2 Site 1 1000 2000
3 Site 2 5000 5000 3000
4 Site 3 6000 4000 3000
In this example, rows 4 and 4 would be deleted because they are not missing any data.
Thanks
**assuming that you have 4 columns and they start in column B:
with an array formula you can see the length of characters in each row.
=MIN(LEN(B2:E2))
for example, you can use the above formula in row 2 (remember: ctrl+shift+enter to use it)
So, if you apply that formula per row, you should be able to know if you have missing value per row (all of them that have length 0 per row); then, use that column to filter. E.g. Filter anything that is not 0.

Removing specific rows in Excel

I have a data set in Excel as shown in the snippet below:
Patient Number Age State
1 20 1
1 20 3
1 20 2
2 35 1
2 35 4
3 62 2
3 62 1
3 62 3
3 62 4
3 62 5
I need to keep the last row of each patient, i.e. I need the dataset to look as follows:
Patient Number Age State
1 20 2
2 35 4
3 62 5
Is there a simple way to do this with Excel? Since the dataset is huge and cannot do it manually
If your data is in A:C columns, you can add another column with the following formula in D2:
=A2<>A3
Fill it down. Apply autofilter, choose False in D column and delete all filtered rows.
Edit:
This solution assumes your data is sorted by A column.
Enter below to D2 and press CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER to make it an array formula:
=MAX(IF($A$2:$A$11=A2,ROW($A$2:$A$11)))=ROW()
Advantage of this formula is PatientNumber column doesn't have to be sorted. Formula will find the last entry for each PatientNumber. See below, added one more row for Patient number 1:
You can easily keep the top entry with Data ► Data Tools ► Remove Duplicates. To keep the last entry, you first need to reverse the order.
In an unused Helper column to the right put a 1 in the top row then select all of cells in that column to the bottom of your data and use Home ► Editing ► Fill ► Series to gain a column of sequential numbers.
Sort your data using that new column in descending order.
Choose Data ► Data Tools ► Remove Duplicates using only the Patient column as the criteria for duplication.
Delete the Helper column as it is not longer needed.
Duplicates are deleted from the bottom up so the first value for each patient will be retained.

Split multiple values in a column into separate columns

My source table looks like this:
A1 12
A2 13
B1 14
B2 15
B3 16
I want it in a format like below:
1 2 3
A 12 13
B 14 15 16
Since there is large amount of data, it can't be done manually.
Please let me know how to do this?
I can't quite see how you want it formatted as the question isn't formatted.
However, you can use a feature in Excel called Text to Columns, on the Data tab.
This allows you to split text in a single column into multiple columns. You can specify the delimiter (the character to divide the columns), which may be a space or tab in your case.
Create a third column with formula =LEFT(A1, 1). Then a fourth column with =MID(A1,2,100). Insert a new Row 1 and give each column a name. Finally, insert a Pivot Table with column 3 as the row headers and column 4 as the column headers.
Another option might be to combine elements of the two existing answers. Insert a new ColumnB, split ColumnA with Text to Columns, Fixed width (one character), add labels (say a, b and c) to the columns then pivot with a for ROWS, b for COLUMNS and c for VALUES.

Finding matching value in sheet 2 and copy adjacent cells value in sheet 1

I have searched through many similar topics but could find nothing that will do what I need.
I am trying to create a worksheet that will track scores for a darts game.
On Sheet 1 I have two columns that simply tracks each players throws from 501 down to 0
Row 25 is the amount remaining for each player.
In Sheet 2 I have 2 columns. The Column A contains scores that you can check out on, and Column B contains the checkout e.g. (T20, T20, D18). So if the value in row 25 of Sheet 1 matches any of the values in Column A of sheet 2, the I want to display the Value of Column B in the matching row on Sheet 2 Underneath the remaining score on Sheet 1.
Can anyone point me in the right direction?
not sure what you mean exactly, but this formula in row 26 should do the trick:
=index('Sheet 2'!$B:$B;match(A25;'Sheet 2'!$A:$A;0))
if your list separator is comma ,, use that instead of semicolon ;
you might want to use 1 as the third argument of match function, if you want to display the checkout according to the nearest match that is bigger than the number in row 25 and the column A in Sheet 2 is sorted in ascending order (1-9)
or -1 if you want the nearest match that is smaller and column A is sorted in descending order (9-1)
You can use this:
=IFERROR(VLOOKUP(A4, Sheet2!$C$2:$E$65535, 3, FALSE),0)
