Too Much in One Cell
 

I have about 2000 addresses that need to be separated.

In one cell the street address, city, state and zip are all locatated in one
cell. Is there a way that I can separate this so that the street address,
city, state, and zip all have a separate cell?

if you have commas or other separators in the cells than use the text to
columns function in the data menu - it is a wizard function that will guide
you though the steps

Unfortunately I don't

The addresses are as follows:
330 6th Avenue North, Suite 200 Southport, MS 98227

All of that is in one cell...Any other suggestions?

It looks like you have double (or greater) spaces between the data. If that
is a rule, you can replace the string " " (two spaces) with a symbol ("|",
for example), and make the text to columns using that symbol.

Hope this helps,
Miguel.

i took your example address and tried it using the delimited option in the
text to columns - still an issue with the suite number and state zip code
separation - however, if you initally split them all using the comma
separator and first, you could go back and then split the suites and zip code
columns again using a space as the separator as opposed to a comma

I will try that...I was thinking of opening it as a deliminated file and
putting the commas in that way - it may be easier than individually - The
biggest problem is that there is no standard, in some cases there are
multiple spaces between each and in other cases there is one or none...I
guess I will just have to play with it a bit more...

I will try your suggestions!
THANK YOU !!!
