Hi all,

I have insurance data that is in this structure. For each type of insurance (column H and I), I want a new row with data that is the same besides these two cells.

A little hard to explain, but the below screenshot is what I'm after. Notice column H and I have carriage returns in the data. I'm simply wanting to split these out into their own rows, but not affect the other data (column A-G & J-N).

Excel Facts

What is the last column in Excel?
Excel columns run from A to Z, AA to AZ, AAA to XFD. The last column is XFD.
Sort by date Sort by votes
How about
Code: 
Sub imb2bz()
   Dim i As Long, Rws As Long
   Dim SpH As Variant, SpI As Variant
   
   For i = Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row To 2 Step -1
      SpH = Split(Cells(i, 8), vbLf)
      SpI = Split(Cells(i, 9), vbLf)
      Rws = UBound(SpH)
      If Rws >= 1 Then
         Rows(i + 1).Resize(Rws).Insert
         Cells(i, 1).Resize(Rws + 1, 14).Filldown
         Cells(i, 8).Resize(Rws + 1, 2).Value = Application.Transpose(Array(SpH, SpI))
      End If
   Next i
End Sub

Look at this link. Scroll down to see how to split the cells on a carriage return using Power Query.

https://excelgorilla.com/power-bi/power-query/split-column-by-carriage-return/

This will then put them in separate cells on the same line. You will need to unpivot that data to get it into rows.
Click to expand...

Can't get this to work.

Screenshot of what I get when I follow these instructions and load the Power Query data back into Excel: https://i.snag.gy/MzPDdO.jpg

You mentioned unpivot the data (I assume this is done in Power Query as well)?). I see a button to Unpivot by column and when I press that, it moves the Header 8 into a row, which isn't what I'm after: https://i.snag.gy/VUH1B8.jpg

Header 8 moved into the row field: https://i.snag.gy/x3M4fR.jpg

What am I doing wrong here?

Post a file to either Google Drive, Box Net or Drop Box that is a realistic representative of your actual file. I will attempt to work with it in Power Query. Pictures are pretty much worthless as one cannot manipulate the data in a picture and to be honest, I don't have the time nor the desire to try an recreate your file.

M-code for post above

Code: 
[SIZE=1]// Table1
let
    Source = Excel.CurrentWorkbook(){[Name="Table1"]}[Content]
in
    Source

// Table1 (2)
let
    Source = Excel.CurrentWorkbook(){[Name="Table1"]}[Content],
    #"Removed Columns" = Table.RemoveColumns(Source,{"Header9"}),
    #"Split Column by Delimiter" = Table.ExpandListColumn(Table.TransformColumns(#"Removed Columns", {{"Header8", Splitter.SplitTextByDelimiter("#(lf)", QuoteStyle.Csv), let itemType = (type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true] in type {itemType}}}), "Header8"),
    #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(#"Split Column by Delimiter",{{"Header8", Int64.Type}}),
    #"Added Index" = Table.AddIndexColumn(#"Changed Type", "Index", 1, 1)
in
    #"Added Index"

// Table1 (3)
let
    Source = Excel.CurrentWorkbook(){[Name="Table1"]}[Content],
    #"Removed Columns" = Table.RemoveColumns(Source,{"Header8"}),
    #"Split Column by Delimiter" = Table.ExpandListColumn(Table.TransformColumns(#"Removed Columns", {{"Header9", Splitter.SplitTextByDelimiter("#(lf)", QuoteStyle.Csv), let itemType = (type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true] in type {itemType}}}), "Header9"),
    #"Added Index" = Table.AddIndexColumn(#"Split Column by Delimiter", "Index", 1, 1)
in
    #"Added Index"

// Merge1
let
    Source = Table.NestedJoin(#"Table1 (2)",{"Index"},#"Table1 (3)",{"Index"},"Table1 (3)",JoinKind.LeftOuter),
    #"Expanded Table1 (3)" = Table.ExpandTableColumn(Source, "Table1 (3)", {"Header9"}, {"Header9"}),
    #"Reordered Columns" = Table.ReorderColumns(#"Expanded Table1 (3)",{"Header1", "Header2", "Header3", "Header4", "Header5", "Header6", "Header7", "Header8", "Header9", "Header10", "Header11", "Header12", "Header13", "Header14", "Index"})
in
    #"Reordered Columns"[/SIZE]

should be checked because of typos ;)

Edit:
I forgot remove Index from result table in previous post
Whole action is not optimized but this is cosmetic :diablo:

OMG sandy666, thank you!!

The problem was that it was indeed a LF (Line Feed) and NOT a CR (Carriage Return). It might be because this data was pulled from a Unix command line database.

Everything else works amazing!! Thanks for posting your M-code. I honestly haven't used Power Query a lot, but can now see some of the power behind it. I was able to follow your code and perform the same steps in Power Query (i.e. started off by creating 2 tables, removed a column (9), split column by LF, add an index column at the end, load to connection only, ... repeat the same steps with the other table & this time removed the other column (8), add index column at the end.. then performed a merge of the two tables using left out and click on both indexed columns as the "primary key").

Very cool!

Thanks to all for the suggestions and help. Always fun learning new tricks.

'Till next time,

~ Im2bz2p345 :)
