Hello chaps,

In column A is an address with lines seperated by commas. In column B is the Postcode. There are approx 3000 records and I need to re-create this in a single column.

Eventually this ends up in MS Word, in a table, each address in a box in the format

line 1,
line 2,
line 3,
county.
postcode

The table is two addresses wide, and 1500 long. Is there a simple way of tidying it sufficiently to make it less labour intensive?

Cheers,
Marcus

What is the fastest way to copy a formula?
If A2:A50000 contain data. Enter a formula in B2. Select B2. Double-click the Fill Handle and Excel will shoot the formula down to B50000.
Hi Marcus


Not sure how you want the end result, but select Column "A" and try Data>Text to columns
