Hello,

I could really use some help parsing this data. All of the data is in the same field, and I would like to have each address field (i.e. Address1, City, State, Zip Code) in separate fields.

100 Laketrail Drive , Alpharetta, Georgia, 30022
1001 St Charles Ave , Atlanta, Georgia, 30306
102 Meadow Court , Fairburn, Georgia, 30213

I've found how I can parse out "100 Laketrail Drive" (for example):
=LEFT(A2,FIND(",",A2)-2)

And I've found how I can parse out "30022":
=TRIM(RIGHT($A$2,LEN($A$2)-FIND("^^",SUBSTITUTE($A$2,",","^^",LEN($A$2)-LEN(SUBSTITUTE($A$2,",",""))))))

But I need help with parsing out "Alpharetta" and "Georgia", please! I think I should be able to count the number of commas and parse out the data from one comma to the next comma. But I've spent a LONG time figuring it out and I can't seem to get it.

Can someone help me, please!

Hi Aaron
Welcome to the board

If the addresses have, like in the examples, the fields separated by commas, you just have to select the column and use Data->Text to Columns choosing comma for delimiter.

Wow, don't I feel silly. I've seen that screen when importing new data, but I didn't realize I could do that from within a worksheet.

Thanks!
