I have data in sheet Check of the excel file .test file and expected result

I setup a dictionary Botcontainersize_Exist_dic contains 6 keys as also 6 columns header in the sheet Check. I setup an array Prefix(Extract_, Recalculate_,Check_) Cell (row 3, column of 1st key of dictionary Botcontainersize_Exist_dic) has a string with pattern like this ";20':20FT;40'GP:40FT;40'HC:40FT Small"

I want to:

  1. Get data from this cell (row 3, column of 1st key of dictionary Botcontainersize_Exist_dic) to split into substrings then get the keys into new dictionary ExtractFromBotcontainersize_Exist_dic. Keys are the substring between ";" and ":". So the new dictionary ExtractFromBotcontainersize_Exist_dic will now contains 3 keys: 20', 40'GP, 40'HC.
  2. Add group of columns next to each original column (which is each key in dictionary Botcontainersize_Exist_dic). The groups of column will based on combination of each item in dictionary ExtractFromBotcontainersize_Exist_dic and array Prefix. In other words, for each key in BotcontainerSize_Exists_dic:
  • look for the column named is the key
  • create NoOfColToBeAdd columns right next to the original column (which is also the key). For example, insert 9 columns right of column named Bot_Container_Size, then insert 9 columns right after column named Bot_Container_Height and so on. Do not change header or delete data in original columns but be.
  • Assign the header (row 1) of the newly created columns: The newly created columns will have the header name is the header and combination of each item in Prefix( 1st priority) and each item in ExtractFromBotcontainerSize_Exists_dic. The header name will have pattern like this [Prefix]key in [BotcontainerSize_Exists_dic] [ExtractFromBotcontainerSize_Exists_dic]
  • Add 9 newly created columns as new keys to dictionary BotcontainerSize_Exists_dic. Update the values of the keys in dictionary BotcontainerSize_Exists_dic with new column letters. For example, column named or key Bot_Container_Size has value “V”, column named or key “Extract_Bot_Container_Size” has value “W”, column named or key “Recalculate_Bot_Container_Size” has value “X”. So the result should be: Find the column named “Bot_Container_Size” in column “V”. Then add 9 columns right after this column. The 9 newly added column next to column named “Bot_Container_Size” will has below header.
  • Column 1: header will be Extract_Bot_Container_Size_20’
  • Column 2: header will be Recalculate_ Bot_Container_Size_20’
  • Column 3: header will be Check_Bot_Container_Size_20’
  • Column 4 header will be Extract_Bot_Container_Size_40’GP
  • Column 5 header will be Recalculate_Bot_Container_Size_40’GP
  • Column 6 header will be Check_Bot_Container_Size_40’GP And so on Then find column named “Bot_Container_Height”, now at 9 newly added column next to column named “Bot_Container_Height” will be
  • Column 1: Extract_Bot_Container_Height_20’
  • Column 2: Recalculate_ Bot_Container_Height_20’
  • Column 3: Check_Bot_Container_Height_20’
  • Column 4 header will be Extract_Bot_Container_Height_40’GP
  • Column 5 header will be Recalculate_Bot_Container_Height_40’GP
  • Column 6 header will be Check_Bot_Container_Height_40’GP And so on _ Start from row 3, for each row of each column header as key of dictionary ExtractFromBotcontainersize_Exist_dic, split the string into substring with ";" as delimitor. In each splitted substring, the substring before ":" is the key and substring after ":" is value. Then write the values to respective column match the keys with prefix Extract_. For example, string in cell row 3 of column Bot_Container_Height is ";20':Not Applicable;40'GP:OK to proceed;40'HC:Not Applicable". So the value in cell at row 3 column Extract_Bot_Container_Height_20’ is Not Applicable; value in cell at row 3 column Extract_Bot_Container_Height_40’GP is "OK to proceed" and value in cell at row 3 column Extract_Bot_Container_Height_40’HC is "Not Applicable". For groups of column with prefix Check_, insert fomular to check if value in column with prefix Extract_ match with value in column with prefix Recalculate_
Please see the expected result in sheet Expected result in the above link. Please help fix my VBA macro code in the file to get the expected result. Thank you.
