Hi,

It has been some time since my being into developing vba code in Excel. I am [beyond] rusty in my skillset.

I receive a report generated in Excel and need it parsed correctly, and the report appended each time I update it.
(Until I figure out--LEARN--syntax, I would like the append function to be a choice (option).

Example:

Col. D Col. E Col. F
[TABLE="width: 313"]
<tbody>[TR]
[TD]Input Data
[/TD]
[TD] Prefix[/TD]
[TD] Suffix[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]100.100.100.100:100[/TD]
[TD] 100.100.100.100[/TD]
[TD="align: right"]100[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]100.100.100.100:1000 [/TD]
[TD] 100.100.100.100[/TD]
[TD="align: right"] 1000[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]100.100.100.100:10 [/TD]
[TD] 100.100.100.100[/TD]
[TD="align: right"]100[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]…[/TD]
[TD][/TD]
[TD][/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]…[/TD]
[TD][/TD]
[TD][/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD][/TD]
[TD][/TD]
[/TR]
</tbody>[/TABLE]
Original Input data is col. D

copy & trim characters up to, and including, 'colon' from col. D to col. F

delete 'colon' from col. B

[I want a net of three columns with original INPUT data in 1st column and the data trimmed and parsed to second and third column as shown. Row length will vary to infinity.]

I would also like better wording for this question. This will help me think and speak syntax, aka "vbaeeze".

Thank you in advance.
 

Excel Facts

Can you sort left to right?
To sort left-to-right, use the Sort dialog box. Click Options. Choose "Sort left to right"
Give this macro a try...
Code:
Sub GetPrefixSuffix()
  Range("A2", Cells(Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp)).TextToColumns Range("B2"), xlDelimited, , , , , , , True, ":"
End Sub
