Change every group of rows to columns

[Excel4biz]

I have groups of cells that are different number of rows long. What differentiates the groups is a space in between them. I would like to be able to change every row from A within a group into a new Colum. For example:
INPUT

3/S Carwash Service 4635 S. Harlem Forest View, IL 60402 Phone:708-749-4075 Fax:N/A A-1 High Pressure Self Serve Car Wash Equipment & Service 5226 S 132 Street Omaha, NE 68137 Phone:402-895-5544 Fax:N/A <tbody> </tbody> OUTPUT A B C D E F G 3/S Carwash Service 4635 S.

I'm using Excel 2011

Please TEST this FIRST in a COPY of your workbook (always make a backup copy before trying new code, you never know what you might lose).

1. Copy the below code, by highlighting the code and pressing the keys CTRL + C
2. Open your workbook
3. Press the keys ALT + F11 to open the Visual Basic Editor
4. Press the keys ALT + I to activate the Insert menu
5. Press M to insert a Standard Module
6. Where the cursor is flashing, paste the code by pressing the keys CTRL + V
7. Press the keys ALT + Q to exit the Editor, and return to Excel
8. To run the macro from Excel, open the workbook, and press ALT + F8 to display the Run Macro Dialog. Double Click the macro's name to Run it.

Dim r As Long, lr As Long, nr As Long, s, t
Application.ScreenUpdating = False

Cells(1, 3).Resize(, 7).Value = [{"Name","Address","City","State","Zip","Phone","Fax"}]
lr = Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row

  nr = nr + 1
  Cells(nr, 3).Resize(, 2).Value = Application.Transpose(Cells(r, 1).Resize(2).Value)
  s = Split(Cells(r + 2, 1), ", ")
  Cells(nr, 5).Value = s(0)
  t = Split(s(1), " ")
  Cells(nr, 6).Resize(, 2).Value = t
  Cells(nr, 8) = Right(Cells(r + 3, 1), Len(Cells(r + 3, 1)) - 6)
  Cells(nr, 9) = Right(Cells(r + 4, 1), Len(Cells(r + 4, 1)) - 4)
Next r
Columns("C:I").AutoFit
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub

Before you use the macro with Excel 2007 or newer, save your workbook, Save As, a macro enabled workbook with the file extension .xlsm


Then run the ReorgData macro.
