Hi,
I am trying to parse a column that has first name, last name and Company all in one column.

I was able to parse the fname and last name.

How can I parse the Company into it's own field.

Hint- The company name does not have a ",". How can I tell Excel to parse a field that does not contain a ",".
Thank you

Does the VLOOKUP table have to be sorted?
No! when you are using an exact match, the VLOOKUP table can be in any order. Best-selling items at the top is actually the best.
Hi,

The field is CName and it contains this type of data

Mouse, Mickey
Duck, Donald
Disney World
Mouse, Minnie
Epcott Center
Duck, Daffey
WB Studios

I was able to Parse the name into CFName and CLNAME

but how do I parse the Company names that do not contain (,) into CCompany

Thanks

Welcome to the Board!

You can use Data-->Text to Columns-->Delimited-->Select Space and Comma.

Hope that helps,

Yes, I did try and was able to separate the names but when I do space for the Company, it splits it up into different columns

What I get with Text to Column

CName
Walt Disney

CCompany
Walt

Field J
Disney

Result that I want
CNAME
Walt Disney

CCOMPANY
Walt Disney
