Cutting and pasting multiple lines in Excel

Apologies if this is in the wrong area.

 

I've downloaded some .csv files which contain speed camera details for my

Garmin Zumo. There are separate files for Average, Mobile and Gatso cameras,

among others. The Gatso file (for example) lists all know Gatsos, and

identifies them with the speed in the last cell on each line (i.e 30 - 40 -

50) but the lines are not all in groups of each speed, there may be three

30s, then two 40s, then six more 30s etc. I want to be able to select all of

the lines for one speed and save them into another new file, thus ending up

with a 30 file, a 40 file, a 50 file... etc.

 

Excel (2003 XP) baulks at letting me select mulitple lines for a cut or copy

operation, and cutting and pasting each line individually is out of the

question as there are over 5000 in each of the four original files.

Can it be done?

I'm afraid you are. An Excel newsgroup would be the right

place to post your question.

Fair comment. I couldn't see one in the list of available news groups on the

XP page. Any ideas?

You should use

microsoft.public.excel

or

microsoft.public.excel.misc

 

Which "XP page" are you talking about? Excel will run under different

versions of Windows, so "XP" is irrelevant to your needs.
