Hi everyone

I have the following problem. As you can see in the picture below
have 2 columns.

[image: http://i54.photobucket.com/albums/g115/TomBP/Town.jpg]

Now what I want my macro to do is what you see in the next pictu

[image: http://i54.photobucket.com/albums/g1...BP/Postal.jpg]

There is a colum that has been inserted. In this column, which is name
Postal, the postal codes from the previous town column are pasted.

Now the hard part is that the postal codes aren't always numbers. The
can look like CH542 aswell. The only thing that is the same for th
town column is that there is a space between the town and the posta
code.

I hope you understand what I mean and thanks in advance

Columns("E").Select

For each sell in sheets
Do
If activecell = "" then

Range("D9").Activate

ActiveCell.Offset(0, 1) = Mid(ActiveCell.Offset(0, 0), x, 8)
Activecell.offset(1,0)
Loop while activecell < ""

Jim,

I tried using your macro but it gave the following error:

My BAD!

The "End Sub" after the "If - Else" should be "Exit Sub". I typed this out
instead of copying from actual code which I should have done.

Sorry about that.

No problem. I changed it to Exit Sub.

But...

Another error pops up

I must have been half asleep when I sent the original reply. Add .Activate
to the end of that and it will work.

Sorry again.
