You probably don't need a macro. Look at
DataText to columns
in the menu bar.
Either use separators (spaces and commas probably) or fixed with

| This is my first time writing a macro as well as my first time posting on
| here so I hope I am doing this right. I have these large spreadsheets with a
| column of sales codes. From the query I ran, the sales code column contains
| strings of sales codes that I would like to break out into individual
| columns. This is what the data looks like now:
|
| Sales Codes
| 1AA
| 1AA, WFG, XPD
| 1AA, WFG, XPC
| 1AB
|
| And this would be what I would like to go to...
|
| Sales Codes 1AA WFG XPD XPC 1AB
| 1AA 1AA
| 1AA, WFG, XPD 1AA WFG XPD
| 1AA, WFG, XPC 1AA WFG XPC
| 1AB
| 1AB
|
| The macro would start with row 2, and look at the sales codes in the sales
| code column and create columns for each of the sales codes it finds in the
| sales code column. If it finds a sales code that already has a column created
| for it, it will just copy that sales code into that column.
|
| I feel like I could write the pseudocode for this, but I am not familiar
| with the syntax. This is what I would say the code would look like:
|
| While( salescode_column_cell(i) != null, i = 1, i++)
| if(salescode_column_cell(i) != null)
| take string of sales codes and get each 3 letter code
| create columns for each unique sales code and put sales code in that
| column and row
| for sales codes with columns already created, put sales code in that
| row/column
|
| Okay, maybe I don't remember how to write pseudocode that well either. Any
| help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
