Split Multi-Lined Cells Into Columns
Dec 5, 2007
So I have a worksheet filled with a lot of text in individual cells in one column. What I would like to do is split up the text into different columns in one row so that I can use it easier. The data would be seperated by blank lines within the cell (basically when you hit alt+Enter in the cell). Sample data of a cell is below...
Cell A1:
_____________________________
Directions: Baking an Apple Pie
First you must .... etc
Total time required: 30 minutes
_____________________________
What I would love to be able to do is split up the above sample cell into three different columns, in the same row. So the above cell would become...
Cell: A1 Cell: B1 Cell: C1
____________________________________________________________________________
Directions: Baking an Apple Pie | First you must .... etc | Total time required: 30 minutes
____________________________________________________________________________
And then so on and so forth for the rest of the data in that column. I realize that VBA code will be needed for the above... I searched the forum for something that would address this particular issue but have had no luck.

Best approach for searching for a piece of string from a multi-lined cell. I am trying to do it via VBA but can't seem to figure it out. I tried FIND and Instr. I was thinking of converting the multiple lines into a single line then do an instr comparison from the result but I don't know how to do it.
Sample:
String to search = "MARY"
Output Location value
Table:
Location-----Names
US ----------JOHN AND RINGO
----------MARTHA YULET
UK-----------JAMES THE FIRST
-----------HENRY THE FIFTH
-----------MARY HAD A LITTLE LAMB
-----------JOHNNY BRAVO
Cells in column "Names" has multiple lines Cells in column "Location" are not merged....

I would like to refresh all external links to other xl files (on a network drive) and break all links
I have a code like this:
Code:
For Each l In ActiveWorkbook.LinkSources
Workbooks.Open Filename:=l, updatelinks:=1, ReadOnly:=True
ActiveWorkbook.Close False
Next l
For Each l In ActiveWorkbook.LinkSources
ActiveWorkbook.BreakLink l, xlLinkTypeExcelLinks
Next l
It seems to be working, but if i go step by step (f8) it updates values but sometimes after closing the source workbook and updating next one, the previously updated values disappear...
I cannot open all files because there are many of them and they are like 40mb each.
There are no defined names in the file, except print_area

Let's say I have one column of;
1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
What is the most efficient way to change this into '3-columns & multi-rows' like this?:
1 2 3
4 5 6
7 8 9
The actual list is a lot longer and numbers are not in order.

I have a spreadsheet with 40 differents tabs. As an example the first 5 tabs are named as follows:
tab1 name = apples
tab2 name = oranges
tab3 name = beans
tab4 name = pears
tab5 name = grapes
I need to create 40 different workbooks. To continue my example, I need 5 new workbooks as follows
workbook1 name = apples
workbook2 name = oranges
workbook3 name = beans
workbook4 name = pears
workbook5 name = grapes
For each workbook, it only contains the data for that tab.

i have cells with city and state in them and i'm trying to separate the one column into two columns. the problem is, i'm trying to keep the city name in one column and the state in the other. some of my cells have two word cities like new albany, or upper arlington. the text to columns feature is separating those cells into 3 columns not 2. is there a way to do this?
example:
worthington, oh
upper arlington, oh
text to columns splitting upper arlington into 3 different cells because the only delimiter in the cell is a space. i need to keep upper arlington in one cell and oh in another.

I've got some time values in an Excel Sheet in the format hh:mm:ss. I need to split them into columns (including the colon) like below:
hh: | mm: | ss
I can do this manually using text to columns but when I use text to columns in my macro, it automatically changes the time format to h:mm:ss PM

I have a bunch of worksheets with various data that is in columns ranging from 1 upto 20 (this is different with each sheet) across and each column has data rows that has various numbers.
What I want to do is create a sheet when I need to organize some data and control A all the data and paste on to this sheet hit a macro and have it take all columns and stack them in to column A.
Each row will have a different number of populated cells and there are sometimes 5 columns up to 20 columns
Example
Column A - 100 data pieces
Column B - 325
Column C - 100
and so on...
The macro should leave all items in column A but then cut all 325 records (row 1-325) and then paste them starting in cell "A101" then move to Column C and stack those below what was moved form column B and so on.
The code will stop at the first blank space in each row and will go from right to left until it hits the first blank cell in the columns.

I am currently setting up a userform where one of the options is for an error code (chosen from a listbox) but the user has to be able to select multiple codes. I have the below working if it is NOT multi select, works a dream and goes in the right column.
VB:
If ListBox2.Text = "A1" Then
LastRow.Offset(1, 20).Value = "x"
ElseIf ListBox2.Text = "A2" Then
LastRow.Offset(1, 21).Value = "x"
But as soon as I set it to mutliselect and choose say A1 and A2 neither one writes, I imagine because Listbox2.text is now A1,A2 and not just one or the other.

I realize that the easier resolve to this request is to use Access & we are moving to that application.
I have included a worksheet as an example.
We have a 'work in progress' (WIP) worksheet that contains 12 rows of data per job. Need to know how (or if) you can sort by the "Job #:" value while maintaining the group of information necessary for each individual job.
Not a normal sort because the values aren't entered in typical side-by-side row & column format.

I am having quite a bit of a challenge here and am not able to code to split the text into columns. The text to columns does not work here unfortunately. Below is my situation. In one column that has the contract details I have the data as follows:
Account Manager Jennifer MacFarlane CONSULTING - GENERAL on 20-JUN-13 Function #:176749
Account Manager Janet Bewers CONSULTING - GENERAL on 25-JUL-13 Function #:176878
Account Manager Janet Bewers HEAT STRESS AWARENESS on 27-JUN-13 Function #:176828
Account Manager Janet Bewers TRACTOR SAFETY AWARENESS on 08-AUG-13 Function #:177383
What do I key in to get Account Manager in one column, the name of the person in another column and the one in caps in another column and the date in one column and the function in another column. I tried using left, right and LEN and something is terribly wrong with my logic

I'm trying to split the address stored in column A into two columns (i.e. columns B & C). I got more than 30,000 addresses stored in column A and got the following excel function to do the job. However, it seems not to exactly solve my problem.
in column B : =LEFT(A1,FIND(" ",A1,20)-1)
in column C : =right(A1,len(A1)-FIND(" ",A1,21))
First, using the above functions, I got to manually drag the formula to the end of column containing 30,000 records! I tried to use vba to perform the job the script failed to do so. I know there has been something I missed in my vba script but do not know how to correct it.
for k = 1 to 30,000
Range("b" & k).value = LEFT(range("A" & k),FIND(" ",range("A" & k,20)-1))
Range("c" & k).value = RIGHT(range("A" & k),len(range("A" & k)-FIND(" ",range("A" & k,21))
next
What I really want to do is split the addresses in columns B & C with the first text ended with "Street" or "Road" stored in Column A and the other text after "Street" or "Road" in column C.
column A : 128 Johnway Road, 12/F, Flat C, Kowloon, Hong Kong
column B : 128 Johnway Road
Column C : 12/F, Flat C, Kowloon, Hong Kong

Need to split the WORD into Col B and put the DEFINITION into Col C.
Here's an example of what's sitting in A1:
Title – A description of record contents
I've tried using the text to columns but can't get it to work.
(since the Words are all different lengths, something gets chopped off)
What I have today:
In column A (within a single cell is both the Word & it's Definition).
I need to extract the word ONLY into a new column (B)
and extract all the other words into column (C) (without the dash)...
I've also tried :
=LEFT(A1, FIND(" ",A1)-1)
and successfully stripped the Word into column B
but can't find any functions to extract the rest properly into C
I JUST noticed, some WORDS are multuple...example:
Information Protection Level – Used to identify information protection values per Pro 2227
Can you provide a function for doing a 3 word extraction to Col B?
I guess, what I REALLY need is for it to take "everything up to the dash" and put in column B......then put everything after the dash and put in col C.

I am working on a report but I need to split of text cells that contain text and numbers. I had worked in some formulas and I got stuck again when I drag down the formulas. In the attached file, you will see two tables. The one in the left is my current job. In the table of the right is how the table must look like.
The table is complete and will give you the whole idea.
Basically, I need to split the cell into three categories that are "Family", "Model" and "Phase". In example:
Cell Family Model Phase
CCA CCA
DC50X DC50X
DCX3300CRDDCX3300CRD
DPC2434 DPC2434
DCT-1700DCT1700
DCT-1800DCT1800
DCT-1800P3DCT1800P3
DCT-1800P4DCT1800P4

I have data in Column A that is from a text file that contains 50,000 rows , this is pipe delimited data that is 300 columns wide. I would like to be able to keep the columns but using the Text to Column functions means that I lose some them.
I was wondering if anyone knew how to separate the text in to 2 sheets, with the first 200 columns in Sheet 1 and the remaining in Sheet 2. The reason I would like to separate the information in to cells is so that I can investigate the data better.
Its not possible to traspose this information as the rows are nearly 50,000 long.
Here is a small sample of what 1 row is like, it not the entire row. Each "|" character represents a break and a new column.
PHP
A|01234567/163|01234567/163|AB123456B|Mr|Gordon|Brown|01-01-1960|1|10 Downing Street|SW1A 1AP|4|||||||||||||||||||||0|0|16-06-2009|16-06-2009||

I have a report that I need to reformat where part of the information is moved from rows to columns.
The report is broken up into "sections" as follows: Each “section” is a series of multiple rows and is broken down as follows:
ROW 1: Contains data (in a single cell) about a Sales rep, which includes (1) rep number & (2) rep name
NEXT ROW(s): Contains data information about an invoice(s), which includes date, invoice number, client name, trans ID, etc. The invoice data can be one row up to as many as 500 rows
LAST ROW: Contains the Rep Subtotal
I need to spit out a report that contains the invoice data only (the middle part of the “section”). I don't want "ROW 1" or "LAST ROW" of each section in the output. For each invoice row, I need to include the rep number and the rep name for each invoice. As noted, the rep number and name is always listed in the row preceding the invoice data. The format is always a 6-digit code followed by the name. So I need to split the data into two pieces.

For each cell in column A, I am trying to split the data between two new cells. The data in each cell is separated by a “|”. All information to the left of “|” should go in column B. All information to the right of “|” should go in column C.
Column A
Aa3 |AAA
A3 |AA-
A2 |A
A3 |BBB+
Aa3 |AA
Aa2 |AA+
Desired Results
Column B………….Column C
Aa3…………………AAA
A3…………………..AA-
A2………………..…A
A3…………………..BBB+
Aa3…………………AA
Aa2…………………AA+

I am trying to split data from a cell into two columns. I have tried the LEFT and RIGHT functions but as the data held is not always the same number of characters this does not work for the LEFT function. The only constant thing is that the last character will always be in the second column. An example of data would be:
9065-10A
9065-9B
9065-11C
and I need to be split into 2 columns as follows:
Column 1 Column2
9065-10 A
9065-9 B
9065-11 C

(scroll down for example) I have 142 countries and 6 numbers beside each country starting from Column A, Cell 2 (A2) . I want to seperate the numbers into columns B,C,D,E,F,G
The formula I thought to usein B2 was =Right(A2,11) to give me the 3 next to Afghanistan in the ELICOS Column (B2) , but this gives me all the numbers
Question is How do I seperate each number so each one sits in the right column??

The spreadsheet contains over 21,000 rows of data, and one of the columns (D I think) contains data as in the two examples below.
What she wants is to split this column at the semi-colons ( and have the column header as the "field" name.
Unfortunately not all the cells have the same number of "fields" as you can see. Some don't have an "addressLineTwo" while others also have "stateprovince".
Is it possible to split the column so each "field" goes into it's own column?
Please note that if a "field" is missing there is not two semi-colons to indicate an empty field. I'm also fairly certain that, between them the two examples below show all possible fields.
Data Examples.
addressLineOne:Road Belen Staana;addressLineTwo:Costado Oeste;city:SAN ANTONIO DE BELEN;highRate:194;latitude:9.97631;longitude:-84.20038;postal4005
addressLineOne:1766 Homestead Drive;airportCode:ROA;city:HOT SPRINGS;highRate:500;latitude:37.99662;longitude:-79.83079;postal24445;Rating:52;stateprovince:US
Didn't there used to be a "Split" function that split text over two cells? I'm sure I used it years ago, but can't find any mention of it in Excel 2003.
