I have a large dataset where I need to match a distance along a line and replace it with a pair of coordinates, but each distance has multiple depths. For example:
A B C D
1 0 0 0
2 0 0 1
3 0 1 0
4 0 1 1
5 0 1 2
2 1
3 1
4 1
3 2
So, I have my data in distance and depth (Columns A and B), but I want it in the corresponding coordinates and depth for a final output of Column C, Column D, Column B. The issues that I'm having is that the layers taper, so they aren't the same size, and its a massive data set. I am trying to find a way to search the Column A so that, for instance, everywhere where the distance is 2, I can assign the corresponding coordinates, in this case (0,1), for that distance. My data set has distances ranging from 0-1665, so repetitive find and replace isn't really an option.
I hope that makes sense and thanks for any guidance you can provide.

@jeffheenan It is not clear what you are doing and what the targeted result is. The case you referenced had the value in column B first, then the "," and the column A value second.
This is a snap of an example that may achieve what you are trying to do or will be helpful in some way.
