hi

i need way to seperate data cell for the column into multiple cells for multiple columns based on four or five or six items . so in column E contains some items but are differnt items numbers

if I have six items lik in E2 then when split into multiple cells for multiple columns ,then the column G should be three items and the column H should be two items and the column I should be one item and the column J should be the value as in column E. and if I have five items like in E2,3,7,12,13 , then the column G should be two items and the column H should be two items and the column I should be one item and the column J should be the value as in column E. and if I have four items like E6,8,9,10,11,14, then the column G should be two items and the column H should be one item and the column I should be one item and the column J should be the value as in column E.

note: when collect some items into the cell when split the data ignore the different space . the most important should be space among the items to split for each items into multiple cells based on spaces among the items
the orginal data are in column E,F

VBA Code:
Sub SplitItemsVarSize()

    Dim r As Long, strNorm As String
    Dim items_count As Integer, col As Integer
    Dim items_size As Variant
    Dim start_index As Variant, end_index As Variant
    Dim index As Variant
    Dim arrItems As Variant
    Dim dic As Object
    Dim arrCounts As Variant
    Dim txt As String
    Set dic = CreateObject("Scripting.Dictionary")
   
    dic(4) = Array(2, 1, 1)
    dic(5) = Array(2, 2, 1)
    dic(6) = Array(3, 2, 1)
   
    For r = 2 To 14
        strNorm = WorksheetFunction.Trim(Cells(r, "E"))
        arrItems = Split(strNorm, , , vbTextCompare)
        items_count = UBound(arrItems) + 1
        arrCounts = dic(items_count)
        end_index = -1

        For Each items_size In arrCounts

            Next
            Cells(r, col) = Trim$(txt)
            Cells(r, "J") = strNorm
            col = col + 1
        Next
    Next

End Sub

Solution
thanks, but the last column should be the numbers as in column F , your code repeat the column E into column J !

Changed this (also have update workbook):
VBA Code:
Cells(r, "J") = strNorm
to this
VBA Code:
Cells(r, "J") = Cells(r, "F")

1. You need to change the signature of SplitItemsVarSize() to SplitItemsVarSize(sheet As Worksheet).
2. Add procedure which loops over required sheets' name. The way you obtain the array of sheets' names is up you. In my example I'm using hard-coded inline array:
VBA Code:
Sub ProcessSeveralSheets()
    Dim sheetName As Variant
    For Each sheetName In [{"Sheet1", "Sheet2"}]
        Call SplitItemsVarSize(Sheets(sheetName))
    Next
    MsgBox "Well done!", vbInformation
End Sub
Workbook is updated.
