I am trying to clean up an address table in excel. Here is example of
the row I am working with:

Northgate I Apt 342
Northgate I Apt 242
Apt 242 Northgate I
Apt 43 Northgate I

I want to take each address and create two new columns, one for
"Northgate I" and one for Apt###, with whatever apartment # is in the
cell. One of the problems is that the cells are not uniformly name/
apart#, but rather, in all sorts of combinations. There are never more
than 3 numbers after "Apt", and the numbers always come after "Apt"

Any help or advice would be great. I am also looking to learn some
VBA. Any websites or books you recommend for learning VBA for Excel?

Thanks,
Michael

Here's one way:

Download and install LOngre's free morefunc.xll add-in from
http://xcell05.free.fr/

Then, with data in A1, use these formulas:

Apt number
B1: =REGEX.MID(A1,"Apt\s*\d+")

Rest of string
C1: =TRIM(SUBSTITUTE(A1,B1,""))
