These are notepad files that have been pasted into excel and all i want is for excel to look through my sheet and delete the Account Number, name, address, bill date, pmt date, pmt amt, balance and any other information up to MR EXCEL & CO LTD. then leave just these infos and split them into columns like this

I guess VBA can help in this situation. Thanks in anticipation

How to fill five years of quarters?
Type 1Q-2023 in a cell. Grab the fill handle and drag down or right. After 4Q-2023, Excel will jump to 1Q-2024. Dash can be any character.
if it is a regular task then I would go with VBA. If it is once only I would
1, insert new column A and number the rows from A1 to the end of your data, then
2. Sort the data by column B. This will put all of the account numbers together.
3. Delete the rows with unwanted headers etc. Some will be at the top and some will be below the wanted data,
4. Sort by the temporary numbers in column A to return data to original sequence.
5. delete temp column A

In that case you probably need vba. Someone can help but you need clearly explain how to recognise the lines you want to keep
