    For names try this formula in E4 and pull it to the right

    =SUBSTITUTE(TRIM(MID(SUBSTITUTE($A4," ",REPT(" ",255)),(COLUMNS($A:A)-1)*255+1,255)),",","")

    Re: Splitting up Dr. Names and Addresses into individual columns. NOT AS EASY AS IT SOUNDS

    Thank you for the great suggestion.

    No need for suggestion on help with names, I got that done. The addresses are the biggest problem because each are packed into their individual cells with no real indicators such as commas to separate the information into....


    Address Line 1 | Suite # | City | State | Zip

    Please HELP!

    Unfortunately, the addresses contain different number of words and there is no way for excel to differentiate between them.

    you address are separated by alt-enter (char(10)
    maybe you can use the =SUBSTITUTE(B4,CHAR(10),",") to substitute them with comma then perform the extraction
    I think people forget the word "THANK YOU!!!!" Do you still know it???

    There is a little star ( ADD REPUTATION ) below those person who helped you. Click it to say your "PRIVATE APPRECIATION TO THEIR EFFORT ON THEIR CONTRIBUTIONS "

    Re: Splitting up Dr. Names and Addresses into individual columns. NOT AS EASY AS IT SOUNDS

    This will take you a little bit along the way. The names are straightened out. Someone else did too. I have tackled the addresses and have gotten the ZIP CODES (some were not 10 characters), the State, and "most" of the cities. The variance in the number or rows throws some of the CITIES into chaos.

    Canadian addresses are another matter. They just don't fit. They should probably be filtered out and treated separately.

    I have worked from right to left to narrow down what to extract.

    Anyway, this is what I have for you.

    I am working on a User Defined Function for the Addresses.

    That is the only way ahead for the Addresses.

    I am working on a User Defined Function for the Addresses.

    That is the only way ahead for the Addresses.

    Line 1 and Line 2

    Everything else is solvable using using formulas.

    This will take a couple of days.

    This is about as far as I can go. I have isolated American cities, State and Zip as well as the names.
