Hello all:
I've got to say i'm quite impressed with this forum, and have learned much from the members here in my 6 months lurking here. For that, I thank you all truly. I have, however, come across a problem I cannot seem to solve, and must ask for some help.
I'm trying to split a single alphanumeric column into individual cells. I've been working on making it easy so that I can highlight the individual column that this information resides in, then be able to run a macro to split it up into the next several columns.
It reads something like this:
JK63 HD1
JK4HD1
ZY356
DJ 3458 HD2
I'd like it to be able to read:
A........B.......C........D
JK.......63.....HD......1
JK.......4.......HD......1
ZY......356
DJ......3458...HD......2
The idea is to have the first two letters in the first column, followed by the numerical string (1-4 numbers long depending) in the next column, followed finally by the next set of letters, and the single number after that. The catch is that the original letter/numbers may or may not have spaces between them, and more importantly, the first series of numbers goes from 1 all the way to 9999, meaning that the forumla would have to account for this somehow.
I've tried altering Mr. Pearson's telephone and name parsing code to make this work, but have only met failure time and again. Does anyone have any input they might give me to make something seemingly so simple work? I'd hate to have to modify all 80,000 lines manually. Thanks much, Chris
