Move data from blocks to vertical rows

[Hagbo]

Hi all,

I am looking to move data from this format:
<!--[if !mso]><style>v\:* {behavior:url(#default#VML);}o\:* {behavior:url(#default#VML);}x\:* {behavior:url(#default#VML);}.shape {behavior:url(#default#VML);}</style><![endif]-->

Trading Name:	BRAD GARLICK FORD
Division:	[ Automobile Dealers Metro ]
Address:	2-16 BLAXLAND ROAD
	RYDE
	NSW, 2112
Phone:	02 9807-2933

To this format:
[TABLE="width: 800"]

</tbody>[/TABLE]

I'm basically wanting to convert blocks of data to logical rows and columns as well as split out the postcode and state from the same cell into another column.

Any help would be appreciated!

Regards,

Paul

Each entry should only be one row, not the 2 showing above E.g. "Brad Garlick Ford" should be one row, not have "Ford" on a separate row.

Welcome to the MrExcel board!

Try this in a copy of your workbook.

Sub RearrangeDetails()
   Dim a As Variant, b As Variant, adrbits As Variant
   Dim i As Long, j As Long, k As Long, UB As Long
   Dim adr As String
   
   a = Range("A1", Range("B" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp)).Value
   ReDim b(1 To UBound(a), 1 To 8)
   For i = 1 To UBound(a)
    If Not IsEmpty(a(i, 2)) Then
      Select Case LCase(a(i, 1))
        Case "trading name:"
          k = k + 1
          b(k, 1) = a(i, 2)
        Case "division:"
          b(k, 2) = Trim(Replace(Replace(a(i, 2), "[", ""), "]", ""))
        Case "address:"
          adr = a(i, 2)
        Case ""
          adr = adr & ":" & a(i, 2)
        Case "phone:"
          adrbits = Split(adr, ":")
          UB = UBound(adrbits)
          adr = adrbits(0)
          For j = 1 To UB - 2
            adr = adr & vbLf & adrbits(j)
          Next j
          b(k, 3) = adr
          b(k, 4) = adrbits(UB - 1)
          b(k, 5) = Split(adrbits(UB), ",")(0)
          b(k, 6) = Trim(Split(adrbits(UB), ",")(1))
          b(k, 7) = a(i, 2)
        Case "fax:"
          b(k, 8) = a(i, 2)
      End Select
    End If
   Next i
   With Range("F1:M1")
    .Value = Array("Trading Name", " Division", "Address", "Address 1", "State", "Postcode", "Phone", "Fax")
    .Offset(1).Resize(k).Value = b
    .EntireColumn.AutoFit
   End With
End Sub

Sample data & results. I've assumed some address blocks contain more than 3 rows - see rows 22-25.
