Hi sorry to be back with another question so quickly. I've been sent a spreadsheet with all the text for each row in column a. Each row starts with Line 145 (could be a different number put here): and then the text is beside it. What I've been asked to do is to keep Line (whatever number): in column a and then move the rest of the text to column b. I found I could do this easily enough by going into data, text to column, delimited, colon and finish. What I didn't realise though is that in some of the rows there is a second or third colon in the sentence. Is there an easy enough way for me to keep the line, number and colon in column a and keep the text in column b as when I do what I was doing earlier, it obvious separates the text into column c and d if there is another colon in it.
Thanks a million again and sorry if my explanation isn't the clearest!
