Text to Column
Hello Everyone.
I'm trying to split data into 2 columns. The original data is made up of cities and states:
Notice that some items have a comma and others don't. Also, the cities states are different lengths. So, I cannot use a space or a comma as a delimiter. I'm trying to figure out how to separate them. I came up with this formula to add a colon so I can use the delimiter to separate them.
The problem then becomes the fact that I have to count the number of spaces in each city to add the colon. Then, I have to copy and paste special as values. Also, notice that in New Orleans (for example), it keeps the comma:
One more issue, if I get a new report with added cities and states, then I have to re-do the calculations.
HELP!!!!
