Here is my data:

I want my data organised in 2 columns as follows:
Description Amount $
DEPOSIT 440.00
DEPOSIT 99.07
WZ404 TFR-FR 7119109 3,982.00
CHQ~00022-2300103934 4,426.00
BC HYDRO Q3L2Z5 86.33
SVC PLAN 2 FEE 16.95
Any help would be appreciated
Thanks, Ed
Description
=LEFT(A2,FIND(CHAR(1),SUBSTITUTE(A2," ",CHAR(1),
LEN(A2)-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(A2," ",""))))-1)
Amount
=TRIM(RIGHT(SUBSTITUTE(A2," ",REPT(" ",99)),99))
And I just noticed that my approach for formula is the same as Claus. Had I seen the bottom of his post first, I would not have bothered posting :-|
Thanks Ron and Claus.
