Hi

I've been given a large amount of data to transfer from one system to another, the problem I have is that the original data is space delimitited, for example;

12 High Street Leeds
Flat 1 28 New Street Openshaw Manchester
P.O. Box 255 15 Low Street Hackney London

Other than using text to columns to split out the data and then reconstitute it slowly, is there any other way using a formula that I can split it into Address1, Address2, Town, Coounty?

Thanks

Alex

Select all contiguous cells
Pressing Ctrl+* (asterisk) will select the "current region" - all contiguous cells in all directions.

Virtually impossible as County, Town and Street can all be single or multiple words.
