391164 2005-09-27 00:07:00 Hi, I have spreadsheets in which I want to copy and paste one column but it doesn't work. I have attached a part of one. How can I copy and paste the values in column "e".
Thanks all

oops doesn't look like I can attach things. Ummmmmmm I could email it to anyone or they could email me at asdex@operamail.com

Thanks very much.

If you wish to copy and paste the values to another column, right click on the hilighted column, select Copy, then click in the top cell (row 1) of the column you wish to copy to. Right click and select Paste Special then click the Values selection button and click OK.

391166 2005-09-27 03:21:00 Thanks for your reply. I have tried that, but there is something else wrong. I have pasted it to here and are trying to select just the numbers to copy and paste. The whole table pastes but not a column even though they seem to be in columns..
Thanks

391167 2005-09-27 03:26:00 I see the problem now. The information is not in individual columns. Each line is merged into one cell. How can I split them into columns again?
Thanks,

391168 2005-09-27 06:19:00 Use the Data / Text to Columns function from Data on the menu bar.

Hilight the column then select Data then Text to Columns.
With data arranged as you have shown, the Fixed Width option should split your data into individual columns.
If it doesn't, have a play with the different options available and one will work.
