Default vlookup question


Hi,

I've had this problem before. What I ended up doing was copying the
data into notepad and manually inserting a comma between fields then
exporting it back into excel as "comma deliminated".

Not the crispest method but that's all I could come up with.

I think that you could do a lookup for city names but you would have to
have a table of city names which would only get the name into another
cell, not out of the cell with the address.

If there is a space between everything like:

1212 York St. Westhampton, WA 02996

You could put it into notepad and do a find/replace of all " " (spaces)
with a comma then import it into excel as "comma deliminated" but then
each part would be in a separate field. There may be a way to merge the
fields after you do this to get the street number, street name and
"St." into the same field leaving the City, State and zip in separate
fields.

If I were you, I would wait for other replies. I don't claim to be an
expert and maybe there is a better way.
