Splitting A String With Split
Apr 3, 2009
I'm stumbling upon something I just can't figure out. I thought I was being very clever using the Split() function, and it did all work beautifully for a while.
I've got a list sort of like this:
Helloworld
Hello of World
Hello1 of Planet
And I want to be able to run the following code.
For Each u In units
d_type_a = Split(u.Value, " of")
Debug.Print (d_type_a(0))
Select Case u.Value
Case "Hello"
stuff...
Case "Helloworld"
stuff...
Case "Hello1"
stuff...
End select
next
But it fails on the Debug.print with a "Subscript out of range, nr 9" error. The debug is just there because it doesn't want to work. The debug.print DOES out put "Helloworld" into the Immediate window but then still fails which sorta confuses me.
The best I can figure out is that it just doesn't quite like the string without an " of" in it.

If I have a string which contains 3 words, is there an easy way of separating out the consonants into one string and the vowels into another (spaces should be ignored)?
The only way I can think of doing it is to go through the string item by item and comparing the letters to a list of vowels and using that to do the separation.

On to what brought me here; I have a spreadsheet with a column containing an address, eg '12 SMITH ST SOMESUBURB NSW 2001'. I'm looking at splitting this cell in half after the street and moving the second half (suburb state postcode) into the next cell, which i've managed to do with a series on InStr statements.
Now the fun part is that not all these addresses are streets, some are avenues (AV or AVE), roads (RD), place (PL), drive (DR or DRV) etc. Initially i just did this:

I have address that sits in one cell only and I need to separate into two or three columns (streetname, street number, streetletter).
Is this possible as the length of street text, numbers and letter differs all the time...
Attached is a sample file with before and after result

I need to split a string in all cells in one column (delimiter = ""). What I basically want is to get just the first word in the cell.

Say I have a string, "a test array." I want to split this into an array where each character is an element. I was thinking something like
Dim MyArray As Variant
Dim MyString As String
MyString = "a test array"
MyArray = Split(MyString, "", Len(MyString), vbTextCompare)
But this doesn't work because Split() returns the entire string when the delimiter is a zero-length string.

I have a column with cells that look like: XYZ - JobABC - Area 1-A. I'd like to split the column into to and have it look like: XYZ <next column> Job ABC - Area 1-A
Normally I'd use the text to columns function and "-" as delimiter, however, there are other instances of "-" which I do not want separated. Note that the XYZ can vary in length and therefore fixed width will not work either. I have attached a small sample with the different variations that I could encounter.

I would like a vba script to split a string of cells that are in the ACTIVECOLUMN.
It would split at each to the next column across.
i.e. split
C:Program Files est est1 est2 est3
to
A1
B1
C1
D1
E1
C:Program Files
test
test1
test2
test3
This is not for column A though it would be for the ACTIVECOLUMN range.
There could be up to 13 sub folders ()

I set out this morning to count duplicates in an array and report a succinct list.... so I went down the route of using a collection with keys to do this.
1. Is there a better way? Else
2. split my collection values? I'm a bit stuck.
I have a series of values in a collection like this
: Item 2 : "Spam|01/07/2013|1" : Variant/String
: Item 4 : "Chips|01/07/2013|2" : Variant/String
So I have 3 key pieces of data delimited by a pipe sign -
Product | Date | Number of Occurrences
Item 4 is of interest to me because it occurs twice.
How I can turn those collection values into something I can work with, else another approach to sum rows in an array which are duplicates (if you only look at 2 columns).

In filed I have couple of value separated by comma like below:
A1 header1
B1 header2
C1 header3
Audi
592035, 579733, 653749, 579735
20 000
If my macro found that string (always will be separate by ",") should split the string and add rows (= to number of string). The output should be as below:
A1 header1
B1 header2
C1 header3
Audi
592035
20 000

I need to open a text based file (not a txt file), read the data in as a String. Split the string and paste into a worksheet. The string really has 2 delimitors a & and a =.
Ideally, I would like to keep only what was between the = and the &. But would settle for splitting the string by &, then putting token to left of = in one column and token to right of = in the next column. The first sounded cleaner, but I'm getting desparate.
This didn't sound hard when I started, but I've never really done VBA before and it has been posing a much greater problem than I thought. I've tried several things, but this is the latest rendition. Am I thinking too much in terms of C++ and Java? ...

I have a string which follows this format: "App Alg FMA", "App Pgm FMA", "App Slf FMA" This string can shrink or grow dynamically depending on the number of App*'s selected. How can I split this string and load the App*'s into an Array so the array would contain the following
Array(0) = "App Alg FMA",
Array(1) = "App Pgm FMA",
Array(2) = "App Slf FMA",

I have a string like this:
VB:
test = "banana|apple|limon"
I did this:
VB:
test_2 = split(test,"|")
The code returned the test_2 var like a matrix with 3 data inside.
But when I try to copy the data inside with:
VB:
For i = 0 To UBound(teste_2)
test_3 = teste_2(i)
Next i
The code editor returns a ByRef error.
How to solve?

I am having trouble figuring out how to split the data in a column.
For Example on the attached .xls - the first few records under the SIC column are:
73790200
59470104
70110100
581223
& how i want them to look in seperate columns:
73 790200
59 470104
70 110100
58 1223
I need the first two digits in their own column and the rest of the number in it's own column. I have over 6,000 records, so doing it manually is not a place I want to go!

I have a spreadsheet with Approx 900 rows of information that has been entered incorrectly.
Spreadsheet has 6 columns.
Contact Name
Contact Number
Company Name
Company Account Number
Order Date
Order Numbers
Every Order should have its own line - However I have approx 900 rows where the order numbers have multiple entries instead of single entries.
All the order numbers end "LO" and there all 8 digits long.
I wanted to know if its possible to use excel to look for all instances of "LO" in the column Order Numbers and delete the original Row and replace it with 3 rows with the same information.
Example:

I have 15 historic files each approx 35000 rows and I suspect there are more errors

Sub ConvertLineNo()
Dim r As Long, TempStr As String
For r = Cells(Rows.Count, "B").End(xlUp).Row To 1 Step -2
TempStr = Cells(r, "B")

I have used this code below to split a large excel file into multiple sheets from matching column data, but now I need to split it by a partial match (set number of characters from the beginning) from beginning of the column data.
For Example:
[Code]....
So with the code provided below using column 3 I would get 10 different sheets since none of the data in the column is identical. I want to modify the code (or come up with new code) so I can set the number of characters to compare from the beginning of the data in the set column and split into sheets based on that. So if I set it to the first 4 characters in column 3 I would receive only 5 sheets sheets: Safe, Fail, Dont, Poop, & 21-4.
What are the modifications or new code needed for this? I have searched for a bit with no luck, just keep finding code to check the full cell data for matches in a set column like this code I have:

I have another problem with this damn address file. Column H and I have data in them that is often mixed. As shown below, I have used A and B below, but its normaly in Column H and I. I would be greatul if some could write a macro to split the data into the two columns.
Rows 2-8 is what Im presented with. I would like them to look like 11-17
Note that the number in row 8 does not match, so is left for manual intervention....

I have pricelists tables with 300 and more rows and about 50 columns. Three letter codes in first column cells are in strings separated by separator (,), I need to split this strings so that each three letter code would be in its own cell in first column, at same time all other cells in same row as original string data should be copied to rows near appropriate 3 letter codes. In attached xls file I have made small example how data looks before and how it should look after applying macro. Table should not move to other place on worksheet or on new worksheet, in attached example I moved it just to show what kind of form result should have.
