Hello peeps,

I have a cell with as many as six lines of data and want to extract values line by line. I have a formula to extract the first line and everything after the first line, but this is returning all five lines. Is there a way to extract just line 2, line 3, line 4...etc.?

If you have a list of cities in A2:A100, use Data, Geography. Then =A2.Population and copy down.

I've also noticed that if I only have five lines of text, my date formula creates errors... :unsure:

You could use INDEX and TEXTSPLIT
=INDEX(TEXTSPLIT($A2,CHAR(10)),1)
=INDEX(TEXTSPLIT($A2,CHAR(10)),2)
=INDEX(TEXTSPLIT($A2,CHAR(10)),3)
=INDEX(TEXTSPLIT($A2,CHAR(10)),4)
=INDEX(TEXTSPLIT($A2,CHAR(10)),5)

What is the Date supposed to be if there isn't 5 values? 1 day earlier than the last date?

Wow, that's fabulous! 😁 Thank you, Scott.

I've updated the table with a few more examples and put what the dates should be:

In F3, I did also try:
VBA Code: 
=IF(E2=0,"",IF(J2>0,K2-1,$B2))
...but that's not working either...:unsure:
