HOW DO I COLLECT TEXT DATA FROM A COLUMN
I have a worksheet of about 400 rows and 5 columns. Most of the data is
repeated with varying values. I need to calculate / separate data for each item in the column. How do I do that? Iam using excel 2003. - for this problem I tried to use the find command. But I am not able to save or copy the data displayed. Any help is welcome. |

You need to look at the pattern of the text within the cell, and devise a method of extracting that which you want and placing it in another cell. Find will take you to the cell, and you can then select and copy the data you wish from that cell. Or you could post the details of the cell contents, and exactly what you are trying to extract and do, and probably come up with a better solution. --ron |
