Dear All I have a unique situation. I have a column of inspection intervals. Intervals depends upon 4 kind of limits FH(Flying Hours), FC(Flying Cycles), MO(Month) and YE(Year). But these 4 limits are in one single column, for further calculation i need them to be separated in different columns. The catch is that they may be in any combination.

Can any one provide assistance in this regard, i need it solved urgently.

Your help is highly appreciated.

Sabih,

Welcome to MrExcel.

I apologise for the fact that I have a problem right now with showing my solution in table form.

However assuming in your data above Interval = A1 FH = B1 etc then this formula in B2 and copied down and across should do it.

=IFERROR(TRIM(MID(SUBSTITUTE(" "&$A2," ",REPT(" ",99)),FIND(B$1,SUBSTITUTE(" "&$A2," ",REPT(" ",99)),1)-100,100)),"")


Hope that helps.

Hi Sabih
Welcome to the board

Try in B2:

=IFERROR(-LOOKUP(1,-MID($A2,FIND(B$1,$A2)-{1,2,3,4,5,6},{1,2,3,4,5,6})),"")

Copy down and across
