Seperating information in a cell
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? |

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)...

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 "Rick Rothstein (MVP - VB)" wrote: What do you put if there is no middle initial (like for my wife... she doesn't have a middle name)?

Seperating information in a cell
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)?

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.

Seperating information in a cell
??? The street address is separated from the name section by only a single
space? And the street address is separated from the city by only a single space? No commas?? Really??? Since street addresses can be made up of 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? Rick "andyK" wrote in message ... 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.

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 "Rick Rothstein (MVP - VB)" wrote: ???

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? Rick "andyK" wrote in message ... Yes.
