Dave:

Where you have columns that do not contain the same number of cells, just 
adjust the command accordingly, as in:

A1:A225,C1:C300,F1:F300

You can use the same formula to select portions of a column or columns.

As you can see, very flexible.

HTH

Sincerely:

Dave Durber

  Dave,

  Mea culpa. I didn't take heed of your warning to make sure to select the same 
number of cells in each column. So it appears tat the selection must end up 
being a nice clean quadrangle to work.

  Very neat little tip, and I never knew about this. I can think of a number of 
times this would have saved me a lot of time.

  Not necessarily JAWS-related, but nice to know, nonetheless.

  Dave

    Claudia:

    If columns A, C and F have the same number of cells containing data, for 
example, A1 to A400, C1 to C400, F1 to F400, then do the following:

    Press the F5 key and type:

    A1:A400,C1:c400,F1:f400

    followed by ENTER.

    JAWS will tell you that 3 areas of your spreadsheet have been selected and 
will tell you the range of each column that has been selected.

    Use the Copy command, CTRL+C to copy the selected cells to the clipboard.

    Now, you can either move to a blank area of the same spreadsheet or, you 
can open a new spreadsheet and use the CTRL+V command to paste the text from 
the clipboard.

    The 3 columns of data will be pasted into 3 consecutive columns.

    HTH

    Sincerely:

    Dave Durber

        Hi All,

         

        I'm using JFW 9 & Excel.

        Is there a way to do the following?

        I need to take three columns from four different Excel documents d 
paste them all into one.  The reason I can't just copy & paste all four 
documents into one is because there are 8 total columns on each doc, but I only 
need to create a report from three!

        So, can this be accomplished?

        My program at work has an audit next Tuesday, and I need to create this 
report by then!

        Thanks.

         

        Claudia
