Hello, been reading up on the forms and trying different solutions but I am stumped.

I have a row with an NFL Position, and to the right of it the NFL Player's Name. However there are multiple instances of RB and WR.

I need assistance in filling in columns V,X,Y with the 2nd Instance of RB (V), 2nd Instance of WR (X), 3rd Instance of WR (Y) from the same row.

Outstanding JamesCanale, I've literally spent 2 hours trying to solve :)

The actual raw format shows up as below, before my parsing of the file. Could you even provide a solution to save me a step of "cleaning" the original strings?

Do you have the TEXTSPLIT function yet?

In that case you are probably better off separating the data out for the time being.

Ok, I have acquired textsplit - is there a better/different way than what you showed?
