Hello,
I've got a txt file with over 200+ entries that I want to convert into a table. How is it possible to have data formatted as the following:

Name: Tom
Age: 23

Name: Harry
Age: 82

Into the following

[TABLE="width: 500"]
<tbody>[TR]
[TD]Name:[/TD]
[TD]Age:[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]Tom[/TD]
[TD]23[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]Harry[/TD]
[TD]82[/TD]
[/TR]
</tbody>[/TABLE]

I tried data import but kept getting the Name and age repeated, which doesn't help.

Thanking you in advance.

David
 

Excel Facts

Will the fill handle fill 1, 2, 3?
Yes! Type 1 in a cell. Hold down Ctrl while you drag the fill handle.
Is Name and Tom in the same cell ?
Same with age ??
Is that all the data for each person ?

Hi Michael,

'Name' and 'Tom' are in different cells. 'Name' would be the header cell. Same with age.

There's over 200 names in the txt file with over 25+ questions asked per person. I simplified the txt and table to save space.

So, what happens with the 25+ Q&A ??
Can you upload the file to DropBox and post a link back here ??
