Use the following Excel macro:

Sub tabulate()
x = WorksheetFunction.CountA(Range("A:A")) / 3
For i = 1 To x
Cells(i, 2).Resize(, 3) = Application.Transpose(Cells((i - 1) * 3 + 1, 1).Resize(3))
Next i
End Sub

try pasting to Notepad first, then save as a csv file, before opening to excel.

Thats where I am. Already copied it to excel. The data is supposed to be in 3 columns but as in the illustration I gave, its all in one column.

I want some form of algorithm to create 3 rows (for name, date and dept) and populate the details below those columns. Without having to copy/paste

Hi guys,

First of all, this is not a crucial issue. In fact, it is really for idle minds :)

I have a small email which is supposed to be of a list of employees, their dept and date (of a meeting)

It was supposed to be sent in a tabular format but for some reasons (blame my email client) this is how it appears on my screen:

Name
Date
Dept
Jina 1
12.12.12
Dept 1
Jina 2
12.12.12
Dept 3
Jina 3 
13.12.12
Dept 5
...
etc

Now, how do I put it in a tabular format preferably in excel (without having to retype or copy/paste?)
Name: Date: Dept
Jina 1::12.12.12:: Dept 1

Extra marks if you can do it only using excel formulas 

Mr. Lawi
