Hi there
I have a cell that has a full address in it and I would like to separate it out into Name, Address1, Address2, City, Province, Postal COde and Contact name.
Does anyone have a quick way to do this?

Excel Facts

Remove leading & trailing spaces
Save as CSV to remove all leading and trailing spaces. It is faster than using TRIM().
If the various fields are delimited by commas within the string (or via another delimiter) you can use Text to Columns -- highlight the column in question and do Text to Columns, choose Delimited with Comma as Separator (or other as appropriate)

Note: save file prior to actioning just in case you get unanticipated results.

If this is not the case (no delimiter) you will need to provide some sample data to see if a solution is possible.

This is the data in one cell

Peel Condominium Corporation No. 789 c/o Test Property Management 1850 Steeles Road, Suite 12 Toronto, ON M1T 5T2 Attn: Danny Gans

then another cell could be this

Claims Back International Ltd. 1180 Jacks Street East Milton, ON L5P 1L3 Attn: Tim Cornerer

I tried the text to column function (thanx by the way) but because they are all different it is hard to figure out - I can separate each word and I tried to CONCECATE them but there are over 8000 entries and I don't want to have to go through each one.

Thanx
Melanie
