The code executes but no changes are made.

This is the code I'm using. Again, this code only works
when the cells in the column needing to be changed are
grouped together.

code used:

Sub split_text()
Dim data As Variant
Dim ws As Worksheet
Dim i As Long
Dim LastRow As Long
Set ws = Worksheets("MBS Report_all group_non_bl (2)")
LastRow = ws.Cells(Rows.Count, "G").End(xlUp).Row
For i = 1 To LastRow
data = Split(Range("G" & i).Value, " ")
ws.Range("G" & i) = data(1)

Next
End Sub


It works when grouped together like this with no spaces or cells with
different data.

: ALMCCALE TEAM: ** ALL TEAMS **
: ALMCCALE TEAM: ** ALL TEAMS **
: ALMCCALE TEAM: ** ALL TEAMS **
: ALMCCALE TEAM: ** ALL TEAMS **
: ALMCCALE TEAM: ** ALL TEAMS **
: ALMCCALE TEAM: ** ALL TEAMS **

Give this macro a try....

Sub GetTeam()
Dim X As Long
Dim LastRow As Long
Dim TeamWordPosition As Long
With Worksheets("Sheet4")
LastRow = .Cells(.Rows.Count, "G").End(xlUp).Row
For X = 1 To LastRow
TeamWordPosition = InStr(.Cells(X, "G").Value, "Team:")
If TeamWordPosition 0 Then
.Cells(X, "G").Value = Trim(Left(.Cells(X, "G").Value, _
TeamWordPosition - 1))
End If
Next
End With
End Sub

Is the data in a merged cell, and if not, what column is the cell in?

Hello, I have the following code to extract a portion of data from a
cell
and
place the extracted data back into the same cell. I copied the code
from a
posting i saw in the forum and modified it. It works however only when
the
cells needing to be changed are grouped together in the column. The
cells
needing to be changed are actually seperated by blank cells and cells
with
various types of data. The line needing changed is the one that
includes
the
word "TEAM:".

How can I change only those cells? thx in advance

i.e.
