Is there a limitation to the size of the email I can send to this newsgroup?
Ed. "Justin Case" wrote in message ... Hi guys, Coupla problems... The "From" field doesn't contain a colon. Some fields are not populated. So try this formula approach The following formula, copied down in another column to all necessary rows will get the data: =MID(TRIM(A1),FIND(":",A1)+2,LEN(A1)) for the "From" field (with that frustrating missing colon), use.. =MID(TRIM(A2),FIND("From ",A2)+6,LEN(A2)) Finally, select this group of cells and COPY. Move to the target cell (anywhere on the sheet where you're headings are, or another sheet or even workbook) then right click choose PASTE-SPECIAL, select "Values" & "Transpose" in the dialog box. Press OK. This last part will work, but would be a pain to do 500 times, so where exactly the data is, as I asked about in my earlier post, will be critical in order to use VBA as Eddie mentioned, which of couse would be faster. Let us know... Regards, Justin |
