separting text to cloumn

[lezawang]

Hi
I have this sheet (please see the link below) and I want to separate them into columns. Text-To-Column did not do the right job. Is there anyway to do clean separation in case like this. Thanks a lot.

Sorry I am adding some more info that might help
All data now are in one cell (account, name, and address). Unfortunately, I am having troubles delineating the data. I have tried "text to columns" and some formulas but not luck. I am hoping I could put account, name, and address in their own column.

lezawang,

Your original file link works for me, but, you have not displayed what the results should look like?

Give this macro a try (make sure to set the StartRow variable to the actual starting row for your data)...

[table="width: 500"]
[tr]
	[td]Sub SplitIntoColumns()
  Dim R As Long, X As Long, StartRow As Long, LastRow As Long, AddrStart As Long
  Dim Txt As String, Result As Variant
  [B][COLOR="#FF0000"]StartRow = 4[/COLOR][/B]
  LastRow = Cells(Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row
  ReDim Result(StartRow To LastRow, 1 To 3)
  For R = StartRow To LastRow
    Txt = Trim(Replace(Cells(R, "A").Value, "/", " "))
    AddrStart = InStr(Txt, " ") + 1
    Result(R, 1) = Left(Txt, AddrStart - 2)
    For X = AddrStart To Len(Txt)
      If Mid(Txt, X, 1) Like "#" Then
        Result(R, 2) = Mid(Left(Txt, X - 1), AddrStart)
        Result(R, 3) = Mid(Txt, X + 2)
        Exit For
      End If
    Next
  Next
  Range("B1:D1") = Array("Account", "Name", "Address")
  Range("B2").Resize(UBound(Result), 3) = Result
End Sub[/td]
[/tr]
[/table]

Thanks for your reply. I tried to put this code in VBA window but then what I am suppose to do?
Sorry I am asking this question because I am not that familiar with VBA. Thank you so much.

HOW TO INSTALL MACROs
------------------------------------
If you are new to macros, they are easy to install and use. To install it, simply press ALT+F11 to go into the VB editor and, once there, click Insert/Module on its menu bar, then copy/paste the above code into the code window that just opened up. That's it.... you are done. To use the macro, go back to the worksheet with your data on it and press ALT+F8, select the macro name (SplitIntoColumns) from the list that appears and click the Run button. The macro will execute and perform the action(s) you asked for. If you will need to do this again in this same workbook, and if you are using XL2007 or above, make sure you save your file as an "Excel Macro-Enabled Workbook (*.xlsm) and answer the "do you want to enable macros" question as "Yes" or "OK" (depending on the button label for your version of Excel) the next time you open your workbook.
