Question
Hi Bob,
)
how are you doing? i am stuck with a nesty problem again and please help me out like over the months you have been doing.I Think it requires a macro to accomplish the job.Here is the scenario, i have developed a table which says something as shown bellow or see the attachment (in column A,B,C,D,E,F&G):
Area_Code 1_Position 2_Position 3_Position 4_Position 5_Position
88299 D C A F E
88298 BLOCK BLOCK BLOCK BLOCK BLOCK
93 C E A L D
9377 D C E B F
9370 C F D E B
9375 D C A F E
9378 C F D E A
9379 C D E F B
937500 D C A F E
937501 D C A F E
Now there is a list containing the carrier list (in column 0):
A
B
C
D
E
F
L
M
BLOCK
now, i want to re-arrange the position of the letters based on its status, suppose i have removed or set a cross mark against carrier c & D and press a macro button then the position of the letters for area code 88299 will be A F E (in column i,j,k)instead of D C A F E. please note that area code 88298 are set as blocked, it will remain unchanged.
I am really in need of this favor. Please please help me out. look forward to hear from you.
Humble Regards,
Sami
Answer
Sorry, but I have no idea what you're saying - first, what does it mean to "remove or set a cross mark"? Second, the image is way too small to be useful to me, third, I don't understand "...area code 88298 are set as blocked..."
So it's not that I'm missing something, I'm missing everything.
Try again.
