Extract specific values from column

[alialeola]

Hi,

I have a column with descriptions (product type, color, size) on column A and I need to split it into 3 columns.
The problem is I cannot do this with Text to Data, as all info is split by "space" and there are 1-3 words for each criteria.

I was able to Flash Fill the first and last values (product type & size).
Now I would need a formula/VBA that extracts each of these details from the cells with full info, leaving just the color in the cell.

Or any other solution
If anyone is available to help, it would be very much appreciated.

Thanks,
xx

what version of excel are you using
you can split with functions/formula into new columns
but , if you want to modify the existing column ,

leaving just the color in the cell.

then you would need VBA , which i do not supply solutions here

A SMALL sample spreadsheet, around 10-20 rows, would help a lot here, with all sensitive data removed, and expected results mocked up and manually entered, with a few notes of explanation.

MrExcel has a tool called “XL2BB” that lets you post samples of your data and will allow us to copy/paste your sample data into our Excel spreadsheets, saving a lot of time.

OR if you cannot get XL2BB to work, or have restrictions on your PC

then put the sample spreadsheet onto a share

I only tend to goto OneDrive, Dropbox or google docs , as I'm never certain of other random share sites and possible virus.
