One Column into 4 Columns without Text to Columns method

[rwhite0823]

I need help on how to take one column with an address and make it into multiple columns without using the Text to Columns method.

My example address looks like this:

[TABLE="width: 216"]
<tbody>[TR]
[TD="class: xl65, width: 216"]2000 STREET ADDRESS DR
CITY, STATE 20000[/TD]
[/TR]
</tbody>[/TABLE]

After I copy and paste that into a multiple column cell, I would like to have it in 4 columns going across:

2000 STREET ADDRESS DR CITY STATE 20000

I know there is the left, mid and right functions but I don't know how to do what I need. I would appreciate help.

Assuming your first piece of data is in cell A1, put these formulas in the indicated cells and copy them down to the bottom of your data...

B1) =PROPER(LEFT(A1,FIND("[",A1)-2))

C1) =PROPER(REPLACE(REPLACE(A1,FIND(",",A1),99,""),1,FIND("[",A1),""))

D1) =PROPER(REPLACE(LEFT(A1,LEN(A1)-11),1,FIND(",",A1)+1,""))

E1) =MID(A1,LEN(A1)-8,2)

F1) =MID(A1,LEN(A1)-5,5)

Here were there results:

David A Miller 123 Bridge Street Camp Springs, L 1837]

Anyway to get the last 3 columns to format correct?

That means the data in the cell has a trailing blank space at the end of it. Does all of your data have this or only some of the cells?

I'm copying and pasting the data so it does appear to have a trailing blank space at the end of the ]

As long as all of the cells have it, this is the simplest, most efficient fix... just change to the two formulas below...

E1) =MID(A1,LEN(A1)-9,2)

F1) =MID(A1,LEN(A1)-6,5)

The new E1 and F1 work. the only thing is with D1 leaving a comma at the end:

Example [TABLE="width: 116"]
<tbody>[TR]
[TD="class: xl65, width: 116, align: left"]Camp Springs,[/TD]
[/TR]
</tbody>[/TABLE]
