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. Mike "Mike" wrote: I have a list sent to me by e-mail, I opened it and it opened in excel.

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

I think I gave the best example in my post. I'm not sure if it can be done.

What happens if you select the cells with the combined info and then
click Text to Columns? Mike wrote: I have a list sent to me by e-mail, I opened it and it opened in excel. That is fine what i need is the part number seperat from the price. It's currently in the same cel and I can't get them to UN merage the cel Can i send it to you? Mike |

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.

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. Bob "JLatham" wrote in message ...
