Hello, I have some data in rows but they are not organized in the proper columns.
I'd like to search the row for keywords, parse and extract the information in the cell to build a new table.

Here's an example of the raw data:


<tbody>
[TD="class: xl64"]
ABC
1DesertPricePoints
2Cake$2.50200
3Ice cream$1.50100

<tbody>
[TD="class: xl64"]

<tbody>
[TD="class: xl65"]
ABC
1$2.50desert: Cakepoints:200
2points: 100$1.50desert: Ice cream

<tbody>
[TD="class: xl67"][TABLE="class: grid, width: 500"]
<tbody>[TR]

</tbody>
[/TD]
[TD="class: xl67, width: 193"][/TD]

[TD="class: xl66"]I would like a the data extracted under the headings "Desert", "Price" and Points. For example under the heading Desert, I would like the formula to search the first row of the raw data and return "Cake" in A2," $2.50" in B2 and "200" in C2. The same for the other rows in the data.[/TD]
[TD="class: xl67"][/TD]

<tbody>[TR]

</tbody>
[/TD]

I put 3 array formulas.

The data in column A, B, D should start in row 2.

Hi,

Another way, all formulas normally entered:


Book1
ABC
1$2.50desert: Cakepoints:200
2points: 100$1.50desert: Ice cream
3
4
5DesertPricePoints
6Cake$2.50200
7Ice cream$1.50100
Sheet699
Cell Formulas
RangeFormula
A6=TRIM(LOOKUP(2,1/SEARCH(A$5,A1:C1),MID(A1:C1,SEARCH(A$5,A1:C1)+7,99)))
B6=LOOKUP(2,1/ISNUMBER(A1:C1),A1:C1)
C6=LOOKUP(2,1/SEARCH(C$5,A1:C1),MID(A1:C1,SEARCH(C$5,A1:C1)+7,99))+0


Change/adjust cell references/range as needed, formulas copied down columns.

I change my array formulas to regular formula.


The formula in column E and G is the same. You can copy the column of E2 down and then copy all the formulas of E in column G.

<table border="1" cellspacing="0" style="font-family:Calibri,Arial; font-size:11pt; background-color:#ffffff; "> <colgroup><col style="font-weight:bold; width:30px; " /><col style="width:70.34px;" /><col style="width:79.84px;" /><col style="width:108.36px;" /><col style="width:76.04px;" /><col style="width:160.63px;" /><col style="width:76.04px;" /><col style="width:159.68px;" /></colgroup><tr style="background-color:#cacaca; text-align:center; font-weight:bold; font-size:8pt; "><td > </td><td >A</td><td >B</td><td >C</td><td >D</td><td >E</td><td >F</td><td >G</td></tr><tr style="height:19px ;" ><td style="font-size:8pt; background-color:#cacaca; text-align:center; " >1</td><td > </td><td > </td><td > </td><td > </td><td style="background-color:#92d050; text-align:center; ">Desert</td><td style="background-color:#92d050; text-align:center; ">Price</td><td style="background-color:#92d050; text-align:center; ">Points</td></tr><tr style="height:19px ;" ><td style="font-size:8pt; background-color:#cacaca; text-align:center; " >2</td><td style="text-align:right; ">2.5</td><td >desert: Cake</td><td >points:200</td><td > </td><td >Cake</td><td style="text-align:right; ">2.5</td><td style="text-align:right; ">200</td></tr><tr style="height:19px ;" ><td style="font-size:8pt; background-color:#cacaca; text-align:center; " >3</td><td >points: 100</td><td style="text-align:right; ">1.5</td><td >desert: Ice cream</td><td > </td><td >Ice cream</td><td style="text-align:right; ">1.5</td><td style="text-align:right; ">100</td></tr></table><br /><table style="font-family:Arial; font-size:10pt; border-style: groove ;border-color:#00ff00;background-color:#fffcf9; color:#000000; "><tr><td ><b></b></td></tr><tr><td ><table border = "1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="2" style="font-family:Arial; font-size:9pt;"><tr style="background-color:#cacaca; font-size:10pt;"><td >Cell</td><td >Formula</td></tr><tr><td >E2</td><td >=TRIM(MID(HLOOKUP("*"&E$1&"*",$A2:$C2,1,0),LEN(E$1)+2,250))</td></tr><tr><td >F2</td><td >=HLOOKUP(9^9,A2:C2,1,1)</td></tr><tr><td >G2</td><td >=TRIM(MID(HLOOKUP("*"&G$1&"*",$A2:$C2,1,0),LEN(G$1)+2,250))</td></tr></table></td></tr></table>

Just realized my B Column formula from Post # 3 can be written shorter, either B6 or B7 below:


Book1
ABC
1$2.50desert: Cakepoints:200
2points: 100$1.50desert: Ice cream
3
4
5DesertPricePoints
6Cake$2.50200
7Ice cream$1.50100
Sheet699
Cell Formulas
RangeFormula
B7=-LOOKUP(1,-(A2:C2))
B6=LOOKUP(9.99999999999999E+307,A1:C1)
A6=TRIM(LOOKUP(2,1/SEARCH(A$5,A1:C1),MID(A1:C1,SEARCH(A$5,A1:C1)+7,99)))
C6=LOOKUP(2,1/SEARCH(C$5,A1:C1),MID(A1:C1,SEARCH(C$5,A1:C1)+7,99))+0
