Splitting Text In Cells?
Feb 9, 2012
I'm trying to break up text in excel based on certain criteria and would prefer using a formula.
Criteria one: Must be 35 characters or less in length
Criteria two: Must include full words
So for example:
Cell A1: Sally bought a new purse
End Result:
Cell A1: Sally bought a new purse
Cell B1: Sally bought a (assume 35 characters)
Cell C1: new purse (assume 35 characters)
As mentioned earlier the only caveot is that it cannot break individual words IE: "Sally bought a ne"

I'm having trouble splitting some data.
I have account codes like 1201.170170 that I must split into two cells containing 1201 and 170170
When I use "left" and "right" functions, it cuts off the zero on the far right. Assuming base data in cell F2...
=Right(f2,6) returns .17017 rather than the intended 170170
I've tried formatting the cells as text, but that doesn't seem to work either.

I want to split a cell with a formula and not use text to columns. I will have a cell a1 for example with 1d 4h 36m 34s in and want to have 4 formulas 1 in
a5
a6
a7
a8
.. so the result will be
1
4
36
34
I know you can split with left, mid and right but don't know how to do it with the desired results.

I have a macro which imports data from a mainframe dump text file and performs 'Text to Columns' on the imported data so that formula in the spreadsheet can act on the data. The code works perfectly well when I use it, but if a different user logs on and performs exactly the same mainframe dump and import macro the Text to Columns action splits the raw data in a different way and the result is that the split renders the formulae useless.
I've experimented a little and for some reason it appears that the 'Field Info' parameters which are produced when the Text to Columns function is recorded in a macro differ between users even though the raw data is exactly the same.
FieldInfo:= _
Array(Array(0, 1), Array(18, 1), Array(35, 1), Array(56, 1), Array(70, 1), Array(88, 1), _
Array(102, 1))

I have text of varying length that I need to split up into three fields. I am using a vba code (kindly shown to me on a previous post) to split the first word, but in this particular macro I need to remove the last word. This is the code that I have at present which is displaying the first word.
Sub splitDescription()
Dim c As Range, t
For Each c In Range("e2:e" & Range("e" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row)
t = Split(c)
c.Offset(, 1) = t(0)
Next
End Sub
The data I am trying to split consists of descriptions of varying lengths and I need to remove the first word and the last word and keep the middle text. Below is an example
SUEDE ROUCHED TRIM COURT GOLD
LEATHER/PATEN METALLIC SNAKE COURT BLACK
SUEDE RIBBONED BOW PURPLE

I have some samples below and I need to split them up.
CritValsMtrx(1, 1) = 8850216
CritValsMtrx(1, 2) = 10
CritValsMtrx(2, 1) = 8850832
CritValsMtrx(2, 2) = 5
The MID function to split the text as below and it works.
MID(A1,1,FIND(" (",A1,1)-1) returns "CritValMtrx"
I have tried the RIGHT function to split the text to have the followings but it didn't work RIGHT(A1,1,FIND(",",A1,1)-1).
"1)8850216"
"2) = 10"
"1) = 8850832"
"2) = 5"
In a nut shell, all I need is the text from the comma to the end of the string.

Is there a formula or function that I can use that will allow me to split data like below into two separate cells?
In one cell, I have - Narre Warren Black 6.8-44 & in another cell - Pakenham Maroon 5.4-34 just as an example. (There are quite a number of cells like this) I would like the cell split to show - Narre Warren Black in one cell and then 6.8-44 in the next cell. The same is needed with the following cell - Pakenham Maroon in one cell and 5.4-34 in the next cell.
Because some have one space and some have 2 or 3 I can't use 'LEFT' and I can't use Text to Columns as far as I can see.

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.

I have some data that is both text and numbers in the same cell. I would like to split the the data so that the text is in one column and the numbers are in another column.
The numbers are all a fixed length (15 chars) so I know that I can use the following formula = RIGHT(A1,15)
However I am not quite sure how to split the text as the length can vary as as well as the number of words in the string.
For example A1 is 1 word with 7 characters but A2 is 2 words, 14 characters long inc space.
A1 Goodwin 000710280740120
A2 Gillette Ridge 000715058510122
B1 Goodwin
C1 000710280740120
B2 Gillette Ridge
C2 000715058510122

I know how to use concatenate but is there anything that will do the opposite. I want to take one cell that has both a date and time in it, and make the date in one cell and the time in another.

spliting a cell and moving them to 2 other cells.
Column D contains date and time in the format: 15/09/2011 08:01:01
I need them to be split into Date in column V and Time column W
Need the code to loop until there are no more values in column D.
Forgot to mention that the Column D is a date format and they need to be in there respective date and time format when split!

I've had a quick look at past posts and there is plenty on splitting cells but I haven't been able to find anything to help me with the following:
I've pulled address details from a database which have populated into a single field with each line separated by 2 'square' characters. I need to split each line into a separate cell for a mail merge. I've seen these characters before and always assumed they represent a space or 'return' and I believe is an ASCII character?
If I select a cursor in the cell the lines drop as they should with 1 square character left at the end of each line and it stays this way when I leave the cell.
I've tried CLEAN & TRIM functions; the first removes the characters, the second doesn't recognise the character at all. The most promising seems the 'Text to Columns' function, setting it as a delimited string, but I don't seem to be able to enter this particular character as the delimiter under the 'other' option.

Cell A3: Abbott, Robert M.,MD
Cell A4: Bussiere, Laura P., ARNP
Cell A5: Bradford, Melinda ARNP
I have this data in Column A and I'd like each person's last name to appear in Column A and the first name to appear in Column B and the credentials to appear in Column C like this:
A3 B3 C3
Abbott Robert MD
A4 B4 C4
Bussiere Laura P. ARNP
A5 B5 C5
Bradford Melinda ARNP
Also I'd like to be able to do the same with addresses:
In Row Q I have:
Q35: Jacksonville, FL 33204
Q37: St Augustine, FL 32092-1850
I would like this to appear in the sheet as follows:
Q35 R35
Jacksonville 33204
Q37 R37
St Augustine 32092-1850
I don't need the state in any cell. It can disappear as well as any commas. Is any of this possible?

I am attempting to split my workbook and save the sheets as individual files. Simple enough? yes. The issue I am running into is that when the sheets export I want their filename to be pulled from the value of a cell on a master control sheet. While I am pretty sure these can be done separately, not sure how to really do them as a whole within a one click button. Also an issue I am running into is that when I click my export button on my control page, the sheets that are saved have lost some of the page formatting.
SHEET1 is my control sheet
Here is the code that I was using to export the sheets.

VBA code to split the the date values into various cells. For example 8-Feb-14 in cell A2 will be splitted into three cells (C2, D2 and E2) to have the values:
Cell C2: 8
Cell D2: Feb
Cell E2: 2014 (Note that 20 has been added to the 14 to make it 2014)
I have attached a spreadsheet to understand what I mean. The results are in red and the raw data is in black.

I basically have a five column spreadsheet containing address information. While most cells only contain one piece of information, I have quite a few cells that have multiple lines of data in them because the individual has more than one address.
Here is an example. Note that Rows 1-2 contain single address info for each individual person. However, row 3 contains an individual with 3 pieces of address information in the four right hand columns:
Row 1: Unique ID | Name | Street Address | City | State | Zip Code
Row 2: Unique ID | Name | Street Address | City | State | Zip Code
Row 3: Unique ID | Name | Street Address | City | State | Zip Code
[carriage return in street address, city, state and zip cells]
--------------------------------- |Street Address | City | State | Zip Code
[carriage return in street address, city, state and zip cells]
--------------------------------- |Street Address | City | State | Zip Code
Row 4: Unique ID | Name | Street Address | City | State | Zip Code
Row 5: Unique ID | Name | Street Address | City | State | Zip Code
Please note that some individuals have 2-4 different addresses.
I would like to manipulate the 5 rows of example data above so that when I am done I have the following:
1. 7 rows of data (5 individuals with 7 total addresses)
2. Automatically copy and paste the unique id number and name into the two new rows that were created so that I have the following:
Row 1: Unique ID - 001 | Joe Chang | Street Address | City | State | Zip Code
Row 2: Unique ID - 002 | Joey Chung | Street Address | City | State | Zip Code
Row 3: Unique ID - 003 | John Smith | Street Address | City | State | Zip Code
Row 4: Unique ID - 003 | John Smith | Street Address | City | State | Zip Code
Row 5: Unique ID - 003 | John Smith | Street Address | City | State | Zip Code
Row 6: Unique ID - 004 | Jane Derry | Street Address | City | State | Zip Code
Row 7: Unique ID - 005 | Julie March | Street Address | City | State | Zip Code

I have a spreadsheet that has been given to me by someone else, and unfortunately it has merged cells in it that are causing some trouble. I need to have a way to unmerge the merged cells, but for the data in the merged cell to then be copied into each cell that it splits into.
I've attached two spreadsheets - unfortunately I can't really attach the real one since it has research data in it, so I've reduced the size of the file and replaced some of the text. The first file shows how the file starts off, and the file named "result" shows how I would like it to be.
My real file contains some 10,000+ lines of data, and the merged cells are of varying sizes, with no consistency to the size, so I'd like a way to automate this instead of copy and pasting into every empty cell after I unmerge them.

I have a text file with rows and columns of numbers ranging from 1-4 digits that I'd like to import/copy into Excel with each number being in its own cell. But whenever I copy/try to import, Excel splits all of the 3-4 digit numbers up into single digit numbers. The text file has 10,000+ columns (each number occupies two columns so I have half of that amount in numbers) and 300+ lines.
Is the file simply too large for Excel to handle or is there a way I can do this?

I have 10 cells in a column. I have a drop down list in each that is the same in each. If all 10 cells have the same item selected from the drop down list, I want a separate cell to list Yes or No. I've tried a few variations with no luck.
