Default FOR RON ROSENFELD: PARSING QUESTION


Hi Ron,

You previously helped me parse some data with the formula (see message at
bottom).
I would like to modify the formula to parse something a little different.
Can you help me, perhaps by telling me which variables to change to use the
formula to parse this: Asset name, Dollar Amount, Percent.

Any ideas on how to do a text to columns on sample data below? The only
thing somewhat static is the fact that each row has seven numbers starting
from the right working left. (where "---" equals blank or zero.)
I appreciate any help given?

See if this macro does what you want. It may need some tweaking, as well as a
test to make sure all the components are present.

Since you did not indicate how you wanted to parse the text portion, nor what
things would look like if there is a "blank", I made some assumptions which
may
be incorrect.

Place the code below into a regular module. Select the data to be parsed, and
execute the macro.


===================
Option Explicit
Sub ParseSpecial()
Dim c As Range
Dim vData As Variant
Dim lStartNums As Long
Dim i As Long
Dim sTemp As String

For Each c In Selection
sTemp = ""
vData = Split(c.Value)
lStartNums = UBound(vData) - 6
Range(c(1, 2), c(1, 11)).ClearContents
c(1, 2).Value = vData(0)
For i = 1 To UBound(vData) - 8
sTemp = sTemp & " " & vData(i)
Next i
c(1, 3).Value = Trim(sTemp)
c(1, 4).Value = vData(i)
For i = UBound(vData) - 6 To UBound(vData)
c(1, 5 + i - UBound(vData) + 6).Value = vData(i)
Next i
Next c
End Sub
