Hi, I'm wondering if there's a way that I can reorganise the data as below?

The data in Column B separates the different strings using ";"

And we'd like to separate each string of data out onto its own row, with its original Line ID?

Preferably on a separate results sheet, if at all poss :-)


Line_IDData Results (preferably on a different sheet):Line_IDData_V1
4orange;black;546324orange
12black;Grey4black
812222_4;WHITE;red454632
12black
12Grey
812222_4
81WHITE
81red

Repeat Last Command
Pressing F4 adds dollar signs when editing a formula. When not editing, F4 repeats last command.
Huge thanks for this....

I'm getting an error when I run this and when I hit debug, the line it highlights:

Sheets(2).Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp)(2).Resize(UBound(spl) + 1) = .Cells(i, 1).Value
What us the error message? It ran without error for me.

If you don't have a sheet second sheet in that workbook, it will produce that error. You can add sheet 2, if that is the case. The error 9 occurs when the code tells the compiler to look for an object (range, sheet, workbook, control) and the object does not exist or the name is misspelled.

VBA Code:
Sub t()
Dim i As Long, spl As Variant
With ActiveSheet
    For i = 2 To .Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row
        spl = Split(.Cells(i, 2), ",")
       On Error Resume Next
       If IsError(Sheets(2)) Then
           Sheets.Add After:=Sheets(1)
        End If
        On Error GoTo 0
        Err.Clear
        Sheets(2).Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp)(2).Resize(UBound(spl) + 1) = .Cells(i, 1).Value
        Sheets(2).Cells(Rows.Count, 2).End(xlUp)(2).Resize(UBound(spl) + 1) = spl
    Next
End With
End Sub

Huge thanks for your reply......

But I've got a gremlin in here somewhere, grr!

Have loaded up info onto mr_excel_reorg_test_02.xlsm

Sheet 1:
mr_excel_reorg_test_02.xlsm
AB
1Line_IDData
24orange;black,54632
312black;Grey
4812222_4;WHITE;red
Sheet1


Then I loaded up the second version of the code.

And I tried running it with (& without) creating sheet2.

I get the same set of results:

Sheet2:

mr_excel_reorg_test_02.xlsm
AB
1
24orange;black
34orange;black
412black;Grey
5812222_4;WHITE;red
sheet2




Huge apologies, any idea where I may be going wrong?!

For one thing, the separators are not consistent. You have both commas and semicolons. The code is based on only commas.

But I see that the code does not fully produce what you want so I will again modify it.

this seems to work like you want, using all commas as separators.
VBA Code:
Sub t2()
Dim i As Long, spl As Variant
With Sheets(1)
    For i = 2 To .Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row
        spl = Application.Transpose(Split(.Cells(i, 2), ","))
       On Error Resume Next
       If IsError(Sheets(2)) Then
           Sheets.Add After:=Sheets(1)
        End If
        On Error GoTo 0
        Err.Clear
        Sheets(2).Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp)(2).Resize(UBound(spl)) = .Cells(i, 1).Value
        Sheets(2).Cells(Rows.Count, 2).End(xlUp)(2).Resize(UBound(spl)) = spl
    Next
End With
End Sub

Here is the data on sheet one.
