Default Extracting data from a cell - please help


Hi Andrew

It does depend to an extent on how the string is formulated (ie are the
different elements separated by a delimiter such as a space or a comma)
and how consistent the structure is between different records (ie is it
always house number, street name, and town or may it sometimes be house
number, street name, district and town?). Assuming it is fairly
consistent and there is a delimiter such as a comma, then I would
suggest using DataTextToColumns and following the wizard prompts.

Does this help?

Richard
