Hi All,

I have tried various ways and still finding problems so I hope you are able to assist. I currently have a new macro which pulls a text file. In turn adds various points to a leading track. The end points may have 1/2/3/4 different end points and inn turn the leading tracks may also vary in number. So each leading track will need to be multiplied for the amount of end points with their respective point added to the end . I hope the below view shows the original and output I am looking to achieve but unfortunately I am unable to come up with a solution and your great assistance will be hugely appreciated. Many thanks i advance all. Steve

[TD]Each end point will have "OVER" followed by one end point or multiple devided with "/" this could be two/three/four different end points[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]With that in mind the leading track needs to be duplicated by the amount of times there are end points for the above "End Point"[/TD]

[TD]E.g End point 1 has 2 end points therefore I need to duplicate the leading track twice and add the two to the end.[/TD]

[TD]E.g End point 3 has 2 end points but also has two leadinng tracks so each leading track needs to be duplicated and the end points added.[/TD]

[TD]E.g End point 4 has one end point but 2 leading tracks therefore the end point "Whale" needs to be added to both.[/TD]

[TD]I hope this makes sense and you can help me as I am at a loss now and it's the last piece in a huge puzzle.[/TD]
