I have an issue that I don't know how to easily resolve. I need to convert the following line of text.

Column 'C1' would typically be this (but will be multiple lengths);
Case Is = "400000","400100","400200","400300","400400","400500","400700","400900"

Column 'D2' would say 'Revenue'

What I need to be able to do is break down Column 'C1' and include the text in Column 'D2'

My final answer would look like this;

Column A Column B
400000 Revenue
400100 Revenue
400200 Revenue


etc etc.

The formula or code would then need to do exactly the same check on subsequent rows as the pattern

I really hope this makes sense and there are a few of you that fancy the challenge :)

massive thanks for any replies

Workdays for a market open Mon, Wed, Friday?
Yes! Use "0101011" for the weekend argument in NETWORKDAYS.INTL or WORKDAY.INTL. The 7 digits start on Monday. 1 means it is a weekend.

Hey, can you send a quick screenshot of your data please? I think I can see what you want but need to double check!

Drag the formula down and you'll get this:

[TABLE="class: grid, width: 750"]
<tbody>[TR]
[TD][/TD]
[TD]A[/TD]
[TD]B[/TD]
[TD]C[/TD]

Then you can put Revenue into column B manually, if that is what you are after?

You want split Cell 'C1' with 'D2' same my picture, you right?

Code VBA to run it:
Code: 
Sub splitText(ColA As String, ColB As String)
Dim k As Integer
Dim ch1() As String, ch2() As String


ch1 = Split(ColA, ",")
ch2 = Split(ColB, ",")
k = 1
For i = 0 To UBound(ch1)
Cells(k, 1) = Replace(ch1(i), """", "")
Cells(k, 2) = Replace(ch2(i), """", "")
k = k + 1
Next


End Sub

'Code Main Test
Sub TestsplitText()
Call splitText(Range("C1"), Range("D2"))
End Sub

Picture example:

Thanks for the very speedy response, yes but "revenue" only appears once. Unfortunately I can't attach a screenshot

Hi Sandy, the powerquery is a great shout, I tried to use your code but unfortunately it doesn't allow a straight paste, do I need to put anything before your code?

Huge thank you

I'd like to see example in a table form because from the post#7 I really don't know "what-is-what".
I suggest create representative example of source data (and expected result), upload excel file into any service type GoogleDrive, OneDrive or similar then post link here to the shared file
