split cell

[pricesp]

I have a data file with one address field. Inside that one cell are several address lines seperated by hard returns within the cell. How can I split that one cell into several different cells with one address line?

Sounds like Text To Columns might work for you. Have you tried that?

 

[pricesp]

tried that. but since i don't have any delimiters other than spaces. it doesn't work. splits everywhere there is a space.

Can you provide a sample of the contents of one of those multiple address cells?

You can use text to columns...
You mentioned they are seperated by hard returns?

In Text To Columns - Deliminated
Check OTHER
In the other box..
Hold down the ALT Key and type 010 - release ALT Key
the 010 must be typed from the number pad on right side of keyboard..
Finish.


Hope that helps.

And a formula alternative:



<TABLE style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ffffff; PADDING-LEFT: 2pt; PADDING-RIGHT: 2pt; FONT-FAMILY: Calibri,Arial; FONT-SIZE: 11pt" border=1 cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=0><COLGROUP><COL style="WIDTH: 30px; FONT-WEIGHT: bold"><COL style="WIDTH: 236px"><COL style="WIDTH: 100px"><COL style="WIDTH: 131px"><COL style="WIDTH: 64px"></COLGROUP><TBODY><TR style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; BACKGROUND-COLOR: #cacaca; FONT-SIZE: 8pt; FONT-WEIGHT: bold"><TD> </TD><TD>A</TD><TD>B</TD><TD>C</TD><TD>D</TD></TR><TR style="HEIGHT: 55px"><TD style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; BACKGROUND-COLOR: #cacaca; FONT-SIZE: 8pt">1</TD><TD>123 My Streeet
