Hi,
I would like to have a Macro to split the text entries in one cell into two or more other cells. eg: if the entries are like: Cell D2 : "CX55742A-CI CY55742AAA-CI#" Cell D3: "BY58575B-BB" Cell D4: "95033 95982111S 95982199" etc, what i would liek to do is to split D2 into: E2: "CX55742A-CI" F2: "CY55742AAA-CI#" I guess I should read from the left, look for spaces in the text, and split the entry right where the space is, move to the next actual text entry, etc. However, please note that: 1. I dont know in advance how many sub-text entries are going to be in one cell, so I dont know how many columns I'd be splitting this into 2. The part numbers have different string lengths, so I cant use the easier way of saying "pick the first 8 characters and put em in E2, the next 5 in F2, etc Do you think you could help me with this? Thanks a lot in advance. This is partof a big project, and I've already learnt a lot from this group - 'appreicate all the help you guys give to novices like me. Joe. |
