Mike,

The idea of a forum like this is that not only do you get help, others can
see the help you were given and maybe benefit too.

Why not post your question here with some sample data and desired outcome
and lets see what answers you get.

Many people have that issue so they simply post dummy data that indicates the
size length and structure of the data to be manipulated.

What happens if you select the cells with the combined info and then
click Text to Columns?

Mike H. is really trying to be helpful.

Without knowing more - text to columns could be a good solutions - best when
the part numbers have the same length.

If there aren't spaces except between the two numbers - text to columns
could also be used - or if there is a comma (or some other delimiter) text to
columns could be used.

there was another recent post that asked to find information between the ()
use of left(), mid() and right() functions could also be used - but you
haven't really provided much detail that other could provide an answer on.

Does this hekp??

G DW 00828 GBN 48.20



You can't see the grid lines in excel. but the part number and the price is
in the same box spred acros A1,B1,C1,D1 and it looks like the cels are merged
together but when you click on format cel it is not merged

If you Merge cells, then yes you will lose information. Concatenate the
information in the cells is the correct way. It sounds like the data
is pretty messy.

Does the Data set have a "$" in front of the "price"? If so, use that as
the delimiter.

I see the example you posted. Try this

In B1 place =Left(A1,25) and in C1 place =Right(A1,7)

Copy that down.

Then select columns B and C and do a Copy, Paste Special, Values over
itself and then delete Column A.

Mike,
Since I'm not on here everyday, and don't see every new post, (you'll notice
that it's now 3 months after your post here)
Perhaps if you need direct contact you should try my email set up for
dealing with things from these forums (remove spaces)
Help From @ JLatham Site.com
usually gets a little more notice by me.

It kinda defeats the point of a public forum if the answers are supplied
offline.

He should just make an open post in the NGs, not personally directed, and
wait for it to get answered.
