I have received a text (txt) file with instructions to 'convert this to excel'. Each of the 765 lines of the text file is 315 characters long and consists of data about certain insurance policies. I have counted the characters as follows (applies to all lines): Policy number = Characters 1 to 15 Title = Characters 17 to 31 Last Name = Characters 32 to 70 and so on. I have copied and pasted the data into excel and now have a 'A1' (Down to A765) cell with 315 characters in it, some text, some numbers. There are now 765 rows in the file. How do I extract (to a new worksheet, in the same workbook) Characters 1 to 15 to A1 Characters 17 to 31 to B1 Characters 32 to 70 to C1 and so on? Thanks in advance. |
