I'm using Excel 2007 - Data is in column A
I have a data set that I am trying to import. The first column really should be 5 separate columns, but has been created as one string. I need to separate into 5 columns. the data looks like this: LastName, FirstName MI. Position Team LastName and FirstName can be ulimited characters MI can be 1 or 2 characters followed by a period Position is 1 or 2 characters Team is 3 characters I attempted to use Text to Columns, but the problem is that the middile initial does not always exist. If I can get the middle initial to a separate column, I can use text to columns for the rest. I would prefer to just run one macro to take care of the whole thing since I will have a different file each year that has the same data structure. Sorry if I didn't provide enough info. Thanks in advance. |
