Hi,

I have a excel file with a lot of this cells:

Book2
A
1renewal store by G. de Vries
2build house by R.J.D. van Kampen
3draw made trough G. Jonkers
4renewal barn by S.D.S. Groot
Sheet1


Is there any way to move the data starting with the words by and made trough to another cell.

Like:

Book2
AB
1renewal storeby G. de Vries
2build houseby R.J.D. van Kampen
3drawmade trough G. Jonkers
4renewal barnby S.D.S. Groot
Sheet1


And if is possible to remove the words by and made trough, like:

Book2
AB
1renewal storeG. de Vries
2build houseR.J.D. van Kampen
3drawG. Jonkers
4renewal barnS.D.S. Groot
Sheet1


But else I can't find and replace this words.

Tnx a lot.
 

Excel Facts

Format cells as date
Select range and press Ctrl+Shift+3 to format cells as date. (Shift 3 is the # sign which sort of looks like a small calendar).
One easy way would be to do a Find/Replace on "by" and "made through", replacing them with something like a pipe symbol ("|").
Then, do a Text to Columns, choosing the delimited option, using the pipe symbol as the delimiter.
