Separating Different Data That Resides In 1 Column

Sep 8, 2009

I have several large excel spreadsheets with different pieces of information that appear in a single column and I am looking for a way to seperate the data into multiple columns. I have read many different articles and how-tos and none seem to help with what I have...here goes:

I have a column that has a few thousand lines of info that looks like this:

Acme Stores
Name:
Smith, Steve
Reed, Tom
ShopRite Stores
Name:
Stadler, Fred
O'Neil, Tim

etc.

So, its a repetition of the store name, then a cell that just says 'name', followed by the people names associated with that store.

I am looking to somehow separate out the store names, leaving just the people's names in that column - but keeping the store names in a seperate column so the people names can be associated with the store name. The only thing that I think might be able to help, is that the 'name' field is constant and its always the cell below the store name. I don't know if that is something that is even remotely helpful here, but thats the only thing I can think of if someone knew some type of conditional command that would pick out a previous cell from one with the word 'name' in it.

Jan 16, 2014

I am trying to divide one column of data into three. I can't change the order of the data because it is set up as a schedule at my work.

Here's how the info is sent to me, lets say columnA Row2:

500001
500003
500002
700002
700003
700001
800003

Here's what I need my spread sheet to do.....lets say in column's C, D, and E (all in Row 2)
C D E
500001 700002 800003
500003 700003 800001
500002 700001 800002

Separating Data From One Column Into 2 Separate Columns

Apr 10, 2013

I have a glossary with 400+ rows in column A. See examples below. I'd like to separate them so that the term is in column A and the definition is in column B. Once Done I will not need the . Normally instead of that tag I would have a hyphen separate the term from definition but the fact that some terms have a hyphen like "D-VHS" was throwing me further. In the end I will not need a separator because everything will be in separate cells.

DSL Digital Subscriber Line is a technology for bringing high-bandwidth information to homes and small businesses over ordinary copper telephone lines. A DSL line can carry both data and voice signals and the data part of the line is continuously connected.

D-VHS Connects a digital audio/video cable for use with some D-VHS digital VCRs.

Create Hyperlinks To Named Range Where Names Resides In Column

Aug 12, 2009

I have two sheets. Sheet A has a list of folders. This list is updates dynamically every time the sheet is opened. I have another sheet (sheet B) which has a list of all the files in the sub-folders, listed with the folder name at the top of the column and the files within in the column underneath with hyperlinks to them. The goal is to be able to navigate to the folders on sheet A and to click there to go to the column where all the files in that folder are linked to. What I need is a macro that will search a column and for every cell that has text in it and create in the column directly to the right a hyperlink to the appropriate cell in the top row in sheet B that has the same name as the text in the cell on sheet A that it finds. I already have the macros for listing the folders on sheet A and the macro for listing all the files in the sub folders in sheet B and they work fine. The goal is a link list which is dynamic and that recreates itself no matter what I add to the folders.

For instance, let’s say there is a folder timesheets. If I add a sub-folder called
accounting to the folder Sheet A scans then timesheets would be bumped down one spot on the list, so the macro has to look dynamically for the text in the column on sheet A.

Also the addition of the new folder would move the order of the columns on sheet B, since both lists are alphabetical. So the link generation macro would need to search row 1 of Sheet B to find the match for the text in the cell to the left of where the link would be generated and create a link to the top of that column. I’ve looked all through the site and not found something that I can even modify to do what I need.

Separating String Of Text Into Separate Column

Sep 23, 2013

I have one column that has forename and surname information and I need to separate the surname into a separate column next to the forename.

Is there a formula for this?

I've tried the formula where you can request to move so many characters to the right, but it's difficult with all of the surnames being a different number of characters.

Separating Mailing Address Info From 1 Column To Multiple Columns?

Dec 18, 2007

Whoever created my customer contacts Excel sheet prior to my arrival entered all of the contacts address information into one cell and in order for me to put this info into Access, I need them seperated. For example:

10000 X Street Louisville, KY 40291 is in cell E2

I would like it to read:

10000 X Street in cell E2
Louisville in cell F2
KY in cell G2
40291 in cell H2

They also did this with phone numbers (ie. desk# / cell# / fax#).

There are over 1000 contacts in this sheet, so it would take forever to split these apart row by row.

Separating Data In A Cell?

Aug 20, 2014

I've been tasked with separating data within an Excel cell into it's own row. The difficulty I am having is, I need to keep the ticket number each piece of data within that cell is linked to. For example, I have Column A that has the ticket number, and column I has the serial numbers of each piece of equipment linked to that ticket number. I would like the serial numbers separated into their own row, but still keep the ticket number in which that equipment is connected to.

Here's an example: Column A Column I
Ticket # Serial Numbers on Account
23999866 PAFR06598067 - MOPCUDTAM

Would I need a formula to do this, or is this something I can do using one of the Ribbon commands?

Separating Data From Days?

Jul 29, 2012

What I am looking for is a macro that can separate the data introduced manually in the left table (see attach file) and order it in the table from the right hand side as I have done it manually in this case. The base of it is to have at the end all the trips separated from days (days going from 0:00 hrs till 24:00 hrs). Maybe is a bit confusing but in the example I have attached I presume is going to be easier.

Separating Data With Multiple Delimiters Into Columns AND Rows

Apr 8, 2013

I have a column within a spreadsheet that has data separated by 2 delimiters, a "" and a "/". (This data has been extracted from a linux-based file.)

For example: "1100789/3200899/6xlm-sgt-455-0987"

The items of data are from a bill of material (parts explosion) and the number preceding the "" is a quantity and the numbers preceding the "/" is a sub-part number of the main part number that is entered into a column to the left of this data string. (unseen in the example)

I need to take this string of numbers and place the quantity in one column, the part number in another column, then add a row and continue to populate each column until the data has all been separated, then move on to the next main part number row to continue the process.

for example:
1 100789
3 200899
6 xlm-sgt-455-0987

Is this possible with the data tools in a spreadsheet, or will I need to write a macro?

Determine Date System Of Workbook In Which Macro Resides

Oct 24, 2007

I have written a few macros, which use date type variables. Because VBA uses the 1900 date system, and some workbooks use the 1904 date system, I have to first check and see if a workbook uses the 1904 date system, and if so, subtract off 1462 days where appropriate. My macros used to check the date system by using the command:

If ( ActiveWorkbook.Date1904 = True) Then
nh_stringToDate = nh_stringToDate - 1462
End If

But, sometimes the macro resides in one workbook (call it macro.xls) but the currently active workbook is some other workbook (something.xls). What I really care about is the date system of macro.xls and NOT something.xls. So, instead of "ActiveWorkbook" is there some other object I can use to refer to the workbook in which the macro itself resides? I don't want to rely on using the name of the macro workbook (macro.xls) because this could change! So I need a way to simply refer to the workbook in which the macro resides.

Project Routine List: Printout Of Each Routine Name And Which Module It Resides In

Feb 22, 2007

I am in the process of re-building a major project due to bugs. In the process, I plan to re-organize my sub-routine grouping within modules. In the source file, I have 18 standard modules, with 10-30 routines in each one.

What I would like is a printout of each routine name and which module it resides in, so I can check off each one as I copy it and paste it into the new file. I see that I can get a psuedo tree-view of my project in th eObject Browser, but can't figure out how to print that.

Separating The Dates.

Feb 22, 2010

I have a form where users can input a Date by utilizing 3 drop down combo boxes. Once they've made their selection that Date gets written to a cell on the worksheet. If for some reason they need to change that Date, they would reopen the form and select a new Day month or year.

I would like the three comboboxes to show the D/M/Y previous written to the worksheet. But I would have to split up the date that has since been concatenated.

Separating Out Address Using VBA

Jun 28, 2013

I have a spread sheet with thousands of addresses in them.

It does not hold the state however.

I need to separate each part of the address into it's own cell on the same sheet.

Keeping the first part ONLY of the address in the original place the address was in.

However not having the city, or zip in that cell.

For example:

E2 holds the address: 19505 45th Ave. W. Suite A, Lynnwood 90821

(There is always a comma before the city. However sometimes there is another comma before Suite...)

I want the end result to be:

E2: 19505 45th Ave. W. Suite A
I2: Lynnwood
K2: 90821

Then I would like it to loop through all the address's in the "E" Column until it has edited all the address's. It is sad to say but I have been working on this for over 48 hours... Can't believe no one online hasn't come up with a clear answer on how to do this. At this point I am looking for the code to make this happen in Excel VBA.

Send Row Number Of Changed Cell To Cell Where Row Resides In Cell

Apr 26, 2008

I have the following range of cells B2:Y3700. I want that when a value from 1 to 9999 is inserted in one cell of the above mentioned range, to copy the row number of that cell in the cell that is located in column Z and row is the number inserted in that cell. For example, if the number "1234" is inserted in one cell from range B2:Y3700, to enter in cell Z1234 the number of the row where is located the respective cell. At same the time is very important to me to not permit to insert the same number in B2:Y3700, so i believe that is need a macro code to check the cell from column z to see if value already exist .

Separating Information In Cells

Aug 6, 2007

I have rows of cells with the following information..

Row 1, Column 1: Address City/State
Example: 111 Old Creek Road Stanton, VA 25523

Is there any way to separate the Address and the City/State? I would much rather the spreadsheet be in the following format.

Row 1, Column 1: Address
Row 1, Column 2: City/State

or ..

Row 1, Column 1: 111 Old Creek Road
Row 1, Column 2: Stanton, VA 25523

I'm just wondering if there's a fast way to do this, or if I have to go in and do it manually - the reason i'm looking for a faster way to do this is because I have approximately 3000 rows to do it to. :shrugs:

Separating Cells In A Worksheet

Jan 2, 2009

Set up a worksheet so that it has 2 separate sections in the same worksheet ????? I am wanting to have 2 different sets of information in the same worksheet - and need the columns to be different sizes based on the information i want to put in. Is there any way to have this done - as I know that if you change the column width it does all columns - and i only want to do select columns. For example for section 1 - i would like to have the column widths as follows:

A1 = 20
B1 = 40
C1 = 10
D1 = 20
E1 = 40
A3 = 20
B3 = 40
C3 = 10
D3 = 20
E3 = 40

This is where i want to put details such as names, dates and results.

Then for section 2 - i would like to have the column width as follows:

A6 = 10
B6 = 45
C6 = 15
D6 = 30

This is where i want to have a set of questions to answer.
