I hope someone can help as this is driving me up the wall.
I have a text file that imports into Excel with data for each row in the same cell. I need to split this data out into separate columns. The string is a random length depending on the data in it. The example below shows the string as it is, the following one shows how it should be split up into separate columns. "C W RUSSELL HAULAGE & PLA 5023 1 1 JCB 31-MAY-05 51 Hours 18.00 918.00" C W RUSSELL HAULAGE & PLA 5023 1 1 JCB 31-MAY-05 51 Hours 18.00 918.00 The string will always be in the order above but will be different lengths depending on the data within that row. I have been trying to use the occurence of the first number to indicate the end of the 1st part and go from there but have not had much success. There will be a random number of spaces in the first part of the string depending on the name of the supplier. Any pointers would be greatly received. Thank You Regards Sonya |
