[u]QUESTION[/u]

how do i get it so it appears on a new sheet as follows

A1:B1:C1:D1 would be 1 2 3 4
A2:B2:C2:D2 would be 024111111, 024222222, 024333333, 0244444444
etc
etc

basiccily i want to pick out 1,5,9,13 and put them along the top
then 2,6,10,14 along the second line
3,7,11,15 along the third etc etc

not explained it too well but hope its clear enough...

First you could introduce a column 1 2 3 4 etc so you can always revert to the original order of data, then use SORT function and copy and paste into the required coumns, i'd imagine it's do-able

Sheriff, in my example your data is in Sheet 1 and your new sheet is sheet 2.

Sheet2...

A1 = 1
B1 = 2
C1 = 3
D1 = 4

A2 =INDEX(Sheet1!$A:$A,MATCH(Sheet2!A1,Sheet1!$A:$A,0)+1)
A3 =INDEX(Sheet1!$A:$A,MATCH(Sheet2!A2,Sheet1!$A:$A,0)+1)
A4 =INDEX(Sheet1!$A:$A,MATCH(Sheet2!A3,Sheet1!$A:$A,0)+1)

Then just drag A2:A4 formula over to columns B C D
