In the most simplistic way I can think to say, I regularly receive many different types of census forms and it is my job to take that information and put it into the correct format that out company uses. It’s all basic information (first name, last name, DOB, Zip, etc.), but it’s never in the same order or in the same format. Examples pictured.
I’d like to know it there is a way that Excel can recognize these formats and automatically import these into the form that we use.

Personal information erased from screenshots, but you get the idea... Thanks in advance!

Excel Facts

Bring active cell back into view
Start at A1 and select to A9999 while writing a formula, you can't see A1 anymore. Press Ctrl+Backspace to bring active cell into view.
Hi Flexremmington. It would probably be useful if you indicated the exact information you want to extract and what your expected "correct" company format is for output. HTH. Dave
