Hello,
I have a tedious task of reviewing data in a piece of software. I only need two pieces of data in order to do my review, but there are a lot of data that show up.

I only need the data shown below (data are fictional):

https://imgur.com/a/xsTvqlx <--- The first image shows how the first piece of data is 6 characters to the left of the start of the data, and it is 5 characters long. I used =MID(A5,6,5) in order to extract the 5 digit numbers for each order.

Column K in the images above is colored orange. That's where I manually input formulas. Columns M and N have some data colored yellow. That's how I want the data to be presented once the macro is ran. I manually inputted that data.

The second image in the link above shows how the second piece of data is 8 characters long and starts at the 18th character. I used =MID(A10,18,8) in order to extract the 8 alphanumeric string for each order.

The yellow section shows how I want the data to be arranged once the Macro is complete. I want the appropriate 5 digit number in one column, and in the cell directly to the right, the applicable 8 digit alphanumeric string.

As you can see, in some cases, the customer has placed two orders so the pattern isn't exactly the same. In this case, I want the 5 digit number repeated and the appropriate 8 digit alphanumeric string for each order.

NOTE: In some instances, either the 'WW', 'ZZ', etc will be blank. It is always two digits or two letters long. Also, in some instances, the 5 digit number will be blank (can be blank by itself or in addition to the 'WW'/'ZZ'/etc). In cases like this, would it be possible to have the macro tell me that it's detected an issue and where? Or just note that it found blank data.

Thank you very much.[/TD]
