I have a large amount of raw data that I import via a text file into Excel. Here is an example of the data in order for me to illustrate my question.
USD COUPON ENTRY PREVIOUSLY DELAYED
S/N 0243**** dfssdfsdf S 9.37500 07/02/11 USD
REC. 23/07/07 DUE 07/08/07 CPN.AMNT USD 23.437500 Q
NAR. FUNDS RECEIVED
SCA. USD 10860000
-----------------------------------------------------
NET USD 254531.25+ 07/08/07
-----------------------------------------------------
DACE REFERENCE IS *******
On a seperate workbook I have a list of money amounts which I need to find the S/N # for. So if you look above, there is a money amount and a S/N within the raw data. My question is, what can I do to take the money amount from the first workbook and search for that amount in the raw data, then return the S/N number that is within that same area? And do it via a macro or advanced formula so that I can do I many times over?
Keep in mind, even when I delimit the data, it's all in different columns and rows, and never consistently spaced.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
