Hi,
I have about one thousand lines of data in a single column. The headings are repetitive and the data is separated from the heading by a colon (in the same column). An example is provided below. I would like to create a database, where the repetitive headings are stripped out and placed horizontally, and the data filled accordingly, is it possible to automate this? OrgName: Corning Incorporated OrgID: CORNIN Address: Corning Incorporated Address: SP-WW-01-1 City: Corning StateProv: NY PostalCode: 14831 Country: US OrgName: University of Michigan Medical Center (MCIT) OrgID: UMMCM Address: 4251 Plymouth Rd., Suite 3300 City: Ann Arbor StateProv: MI PostalCode: 48105 Country: US OrgName: Carleton University OrgID: CARLET-1 Address: Computing and Communications Services Address: 401 Administration Building City: Ottawa StateProv: ON PostalCode: K1S-5B6 Country: CA OrgName: Harvard University OrgID: HARVAR Address: UIS Network Operations Center Address: Jay Tumas - Network Operations Manager Address: 60 Oxford Street Address: Suite 132 City: Cambridge StateProv: MA PostalCode: 02138 Country: US .. .. .. I would like it to look like the following, so I can use as a database: Org Name Org ID Address Address City State PostalCode Company 1 Data Company 2 Data Hopefully I do not need to accomplish this by hand every time I get a Report. Basically I recieve the report in MS Word. I then need to copy/paste into Excel and from here somehow parse. Any help or insight provided would be greatly appreciated. |
