Let's say I have a large group of data like this:

12:00 AM 4
12:00 AM 7
12:00 AM 34
12:00 AM 3
12:30 AM 31
12:30 AM 4
12:30 AM 4
12:30 AM 7

with multiple values for each time. How can i get the data to look like this:

12:00 AM 4 12:00 AM 7 12:00 AM 34, etc?

In other words, I want the large column of data split into eight columns whereby columns 1,3,5,7 would be the dates and 2,4,6,8 would be the data. Any ideas?

>> Sorry cant see a dte in your example but try right and left to pick off the cells you require. combine with FIND BLANK and from left will return as you want.. OK different formula in each cell but once done can DRAG..

any ggod.

Hi StrangeLuck,

Here is a simple macro (with a helper procedure) that does this. I assumed that the data you showed in your example was all in one column, not two. This code is based on the data starting in column A, row 1, but hopefully it is obvious how to modify it to work with any other column or starting row.

Sub RowsToColumns()
Dim iRow As Long
Dim LeftPart As String
Dim RightPart As String
For iRow = 1 To [a65536].End(xlUp).Row
ParseString Cells(iRow, 1), LeftPart, RightPart
Cells(iRow, 1) = ""
Cells(1, 2 * (iRow - 1) + 1) = LeftPart
Cells(1, 2 * iRow) = RightPart
Next iRow
End Sub

Sub ParseString(StrIn As String, Token1 As String, Token2 As String)
'Parses string, separating values using last blank separator in
'string to divide the two tokens
Dim Schr As Integer 'the position of the last blank
Dim iCh As Integer

For iCh = Len(StrIn) To 4 Step -1
If Mid(StrIn, iCh, 1) = " " Then
'token separating blank found at character iCh
Token1 = Left(StrIn, iCh - 1)
Token2 = Mid(StrIn, iCh + 1)
Exit Sub
End If
Next iCh
'No token2 found
Token1 = StrIn
Token2 = ""
End Sub
