Text To Columns
I am having a problem with "Text to Columns". I have a column which includes information which is separated by "/". However, the "/" is not included in every row of the column. i.e. 1 row in the column contains "ADMIN1/232322" and that's easy to make into two columns, however in row 2 I have "Whatever". This information goes into the left column where "ADMIN1" would be, but I need it to go into the right column where "232322" would be. Is there a way of me getting this information into the correct column? -- Debrap29 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Debrap29's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=36127 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=559887 |

Having split into 2 columns (say A and B), you could then generate additional columns, with C having the formula =IF(ISBLANK(B1),"",A1) and D having the formula =IF(ISBLANK(B1),A1,B1) Having done that you can, if you wish, Edit/ Paste Special/ Values from your new columns, & get rid of the intermediate ones. -- David Biddulph |
