Is there any chance you can export the data again using a consistent
delimiter (a commaspace for example) between the name field and address,
between the between address and city?

Yes. This is not for something we will have to do all the time. It was for
a
pdf file that I converted and exported into Excel and need to have these
items seperated so that we can sort by different items.

Thanks Andy

more
than one word (discounting the number, assuming it has a number) and city
names can be made up of more than one word and since we don't have a lock
on
multi-part names with middle initials either there or not there, I would
say
this just went from a doable (better than 99% of the time) to damn near
impossible to do any more. Are you positive the name, address and city
names
sections are only separated by a **single** space?

Yes that is correct with the middle initial. State is two characters,
zip
is
5 numbers, all information is only seperated by a space except city and
state
which is by a comma.

I think you added something new from your first post.... if there is a
middle initial, it is to be linked with the first name and placed in
the
first name column, is that correct? Three more questions...

1) Is the state name a 2-character abbreviation or is it spelled out
fully?

2) Is the zip code (which I presume you want in its own column)
**always**
5-digits long or could it be with the dash and additional 4 digit
tacked
on?

3) Is all the data separated by a commaspace as you show (except
for
the
zip code which I presume is just separated from the state name by a
single
space)?

If there is no middle initial then nothing goes as They wanted the
first
name
column to have either First name alone or First name than a space
and
then
middle initial

Thanks, Andy

What do you put if there is no middle initial (like for my wife...
she
doesn't have a middle name)? The reason I ask is if you put
nothing,
then
it
will be hard to tell the difference between these to names (I know
people
with names like these)...

Mary Anne Jones (Mary Anne is her full first name)

Tom Della Rossa (Della Rossa is his full last name)

The Name is shown in each cell like the following:

First Name Middle Initial Last Name

(There are no commas just a space between First Middle and Last
name

How is the full name shown in the text... last namecomma
first
name
or
simple first name last name? Are there ever any middle names
or
titles
(Mr., Mrs, Dr., etc.)?

What formula can be used to sepearte information in a cell and
put
into
several cells? I exported infromation contained in a pdf file
into
Excel.
In
one of the columns each cell has a full name, Street address,
City,
state
and
zip. I want to have first name, last name, street address,
city,
state
and
zip extracted and put into different columns. Can this be
done?
