Hi Excel Gurus!

I am in need of some big-time help.

I have received some data that is very close to the format I need but still needs quite a bit of work.
I have a range of vehicles (make/model/year) and SKU's (products) that fit those models. I need the format to be completely changed so that my stock system and website tool can bulk upload the data in the required format.

Data came like this:

Column 1 - MAKE/MODEL/YEAR (seperated by slashes / )
Column 2 - SKU# seperated by a comma.

I need the data to be:

Column 1 - SKU#
Column 2 - Make
Column 3 - Model
Column 4 - Year

However trickey part is that rather than the skus that fit said vehicle be listed horizontally, the skus need to be listed vertically and the vehicle repeated vertically, but also the SKU could fit multiple vehicles, so the SKU also needs to be repeated.

Please see how the data is now vs how it needs to be (I did the "needs to be" manually) Obviously it can be done all manually but will take a very long time given the amount of SKU's and vehicles

So far I have learned to turn the data into a table and used text to column to split everything up. Which is step one. But now I am stuck.

Hi Bebo,

Its VBA solution. If you are new VBA user, try following steps:
- Alt-F11 to open VBA window
- Insert/Module
- copy code and paste into
- Hit F5 or play button to run
Or you can insert a shape, then right click on it, assign code. Then click on shape to run.
Good luck.

Check again:
1) Category in column A:
MAKE/MODEL/YEAR (seperated by slashes / )
Is there any category in column A with more than 2 slashes (/)?

2) in debug window, when yellow highlight appears, we can track what variables "i" and "t" current value, by:
Move the mouse pointer to "i" and "t" letter (hover or just click) to see its current value.
What value does "'i" and "t" appear?

I think @bebo021999 has the better solution - I did this purely as an exercise in text-to-columns. It works for me so might as well share. It assumes your data is on "Sheet1" and that your configured data goes to "Sheet2".

VBA Code: 
Option Explicit
Sub shortjake()
    Dim ws1 As Worksheet, ws2 As Worksheet
    Set ws1 = Worksheets("Sheet1")
    Set ws2 = Worksheets("Sheet2")
    
    Dim rng As Range, rng1 As Range, rng2 As Range
    Set rng1 = ws1.Range("A3", ws1.Cells(Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp))
    Set rng2 = ws1.Range("B3", ws1.Cells(Rows.Count, "B").End(xlUp))
    
    Dim lRow As Long, lCol1 As Long, lCol2 As Long, lCol3 As Long
    lCol1 = ws1.Cells.Find("*", , xlFormulas, , 2, 2).Column + 2
    lCol2 = lCol1 + 3
    
    Set rng = ws1.Range("A1").CurrentRegion
    rng.Value = Application.Trim(rng)
    
    Application.DisplayAlerts = False
    rng1.TextToColumns ws1.Cells(1, lCol1), 1, 1, , , , , , , "/"
    rng2.TextToColumns ws1.Cells(1, lCol2), 1, 1, , , , , , , ","
    Application.DisplayAlerts = True
    
    lRow = ws1.Cells(Rows.Count, lCol1).End(xlUp).Row
    lCol3 = ws1.Cells.Find("*", , xlFormulas, , 2, 2).Column
    
    Dim model, sku, arrOut
    model = ws1.Range(ws1.Cells(1, lCol1), ws1.Cells(lRow, lCol1 + 2))
    sku = ws1.Range(ws1.Cells(1, lCol2), ws1.Cells(lRow, lCol3))
    ReDim arrOut(1 To lRow, 1 To 4)
    
    Dim i As Long, j As Long
    
    For i = 1 To UBound(sku, 1)
        For j = 1 To UBound(sku, 2)
            If IsEmpty(sku(i, 1)) Then Exit For
            If Not IsEmpty(sku(i, j)) Then
                arrOut(i, 1) = sku(i, j)
                arrOut(i, 2) = model(i, 1)
                arrOut(i, 3) = model(i, 2)
                arrOut(i, 4) = model(i, 3)
            End If
        Next j
        ws2.Cells(2, 1).Resize(lRow, 4).Value = arrOut
    Next i
    
    ws2.Range("a1").Resize(, 4) = Array("Part", "Make", "Model", "Year")
    ws1.Range(ws1.Cells(1, lCol1), ws1.Cells(1, lCol3)).EntireColumn.Delete
    
    With ws2
        .Range("A1").Resize(, 4) = Array("Part", "Make", "Model", "Year")
        .Range("A:D").Columns.AutoFit
        .Range("A1:D1").Font.Bold = True
    End With
    
    With ws2.Sort
        .SortFields.Clear
        .SortFields.Add Key:=Range("A1"), Order:=xlAscending
        .SortFields.Add Key:=Range("B1"), Order:=xlAscending
        .SortFields.Add Key:=Range("C1"), Order:=xlAscending
        .SortFields.Add Key:=Range("D1"), Order:=xlAscending
        .SetRange Range("A2:D" & lRow + 1)
        .Apply
    End With
End Sub

Check again:
1) Category in column A:
MAKE/MODEL/YEAR (seperated by slashes / )
Is there any category in column A with more than 2 slashes (/)?

2) in debug window, when yellow highlight appears, we can track what variables "i" and "t" current value, by:
Move the mouse pointer to "i" and "t" letter (hover or just click) to see its current value.
What value does "'i" and "t" appear?

Hi mate,

1) No all columns as far as I can see have two slashes.

2) Do you mean k & t ?? i=1917 k=12453 and t=3 cat(t)= "2015"

Could is be that my range goes to row 3487 currently and if you consider the amount of skus there could be over 1000000 rows after the manipulation?

Thank you

Hi mate, Do you mean run this macro after you have done text to columns? Will is take into consideration the output could be well over 100000 rows?

Cheers
