I have a database of full addresses, including city and state in 1 cell. I want to add two new columns for city and state, and need a formula for each - I am using Left(Find",") to extract the address and Right(5) for the zip - but the city and state are giving me problems.

Any help would be great.

Ex: 101 Main Street, Cherry Hill, NJ 08510

With the address in A2

Street: =LEFT(A2,FIND(",",A2)-1)
City: =TRIM(MID(SUBSTITUTE(A2,",",REPT(" ",255)),255,255))
State: =MID(A2,LEN(A2)-7,2)
Zip: =RIGHT(A2,5)

Awesome. No idea what the City formula did, but it works like a charm!

There could be one possible problem with Jonmo1's City formula depending on what is allowed in the address part of your data. If suite or apartment numbers are allowed, they usually appear comma-separated from the address proper, something like this...

101 Main Street, Apt. 3B, Cherry Hill, NJ 08510

If your database allows that, then Jonmo1's formula will return "Apt. 3B" instead of "Cherry Hill". Here is a formula that should work with or without suite/apartment numbers...

=TRIM(LEFT(RIGHT(SUBSTITUTE(A2,",",REPT(" ",250)),500),250))

This is on the track of what I'm looking for, but how do I make this work if my data contains a comma between the state and the postcode?

Examples:


81 Ghostgum Bvd, Banksia Grove, WA, 6031
150 Camborne Pwy, Butler, WA, 6036
Cnr Yanchep Beach Rd & Marmion Ave, Yanchep, WA, 6035
Centro Stirling, 54 Sanford St, Geraldton, WA, 6530
Lakeside Joondalup Shop. Ctr, 420 Joondalup Dr, Joondalup, WA, 6027
19 Neerabup Road, Clarkson, WA, 6030
Stirling Central Shop. Ctr, 478 Wanneroo Rd, Westminster, WA, 6061
Dog Swamp Shop. Ctr, 6 Wanneroo Rd, Yokine, WA, 6060
Glenview MarketPl, Cnr Hamelin And Bellefin Drs, Ballajura, WA, 6066
360-366 Grand Promenade, Dianella, WA, 6059

Does ALL of your data have a comma between the state and post code (or only some of it)?

Have you tried FLASH FILL? Not perfect but you might get close.
Is it always WA?
