Greetings Excel experts!,

Been a while since my last posting and i'm still very much a novice, so your help is much sought after and appreciated. Below is the scenario:

I've data in one messy worksheet labelled 41 that looks like below which I plan to do these few processes:

1. import the data in col I to another worksheet labelled Proposed (in a new workbook) and separate the data into 4 columns; A, B, L & M. Looking at sample data below, each cell in col I actually contains 4 distinct info; name followed by ID xxxxxx-xx-xxxx followed by the post (separated from ID by carriage return) and lastly the location (also separated from post by carriage return). Name should go to col A, ID to col B, post to col L and location to M;

2. import the data in col M in that similar messy worksheet into the same worksheet as in 1 but into col N, O and P. The data in original col M are actually dates dd/mm/yyyy. Some dates are punctuated not only by carriage return but also with a dash "-".

I could "extract" out name as shown in col K via proper/trim/left but that's the maximum my knowledge in excel :(

as stated earlier, any help towards the targets in 1 & 2 is much sought after and appreciated. Thanks!
