Hello all,

I'm struggling with a data sample that is not in tabular format - empty rows or rows where not all fields are filled according to the tabular headers (some empty cells, then some scattered data, then empty rows, then a range of correctly filled in rows. Sample attached. 

Could you please give me an advice how to convert it to tabular format?

Greetings,

Nevena

Hi Nevena,

Thanks for sharing some sample data. However, you haven't given us the 'after' view that you want to achieve. do you just want to delete all rows that don't contain a valid ticket ID? Can I assume that ticket ID's are always a numeric value e.g. 'tr3' wouldn't be valid?

If so, I've attached a file using Power Query to remove the non-compliant rows.

Hope that helps. If you want to learn Power Query you can do so here.

Hello Mynda,

the "after" view looks exactly the way I need it. Thanks a lot for the reference!

Have a great day!
