Greetings,
So stumped. I've tried power query splitting from columns to rows, dynamic array functions like textsplit, macros, more text splitting; everything under the sun. Their data sits in cell A3. They want to split the data into four columns with Col. A as Authors, Col. B Title, Col. C Journal, and Col. D Year. The problem is all the data sits in one cell & then some of sits in the same column. So adding any special characters like Mr. Excel's | & then splitting whacks it out. Also, in column A they have numbers of author citations, titles, totals and blank rows. It looks like this:
Thanks so much for any help!
