Data Parsing Problem
I need to parse text data copied onto an Excel worksheet from a big table in
a PDF file. Each line of text contains a stock's ticker symbol, CUSIP number, company name, number of shares, and other data, in that order. The problem is that the company name can be anything from one word to five words separated by a space, and that messes up the parsing into columns. Using the Data/Text-to-Columns won't work because company name gets split up into multiple columns so that the number of shares falls in the wrong column. To illustrate, here's a typical situation, with three lines of text: XOM 30231G102 EXXON MOBIL CORP 622,900.00 63.5400 39,579,066.00 4.17% PFE 717081103 PFIZER INC 1,475,900.00 24.9700 36,853,223.00 3.88% AEP 025537101 AMERICAN ELEC PWR INC 377,300.00 39.7000 14,978,810.00 1.58% Using VBA code, how can I parse these rows into columns correctly? Thanks for your help. |
