    Formatting text to columns

    Hi,
    I have to format huge text file to columns. Here is the file: https://www.dropbox.com/s/as43ebkf5pbe2uw/sample.xlsx
    The whole file should look like the first 15,16 rows. What is the fastest way that can be done?
    Here is the original file: http://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/da...-00-000162.txt

    Thank you!!

    So, describe the logic as to what was needed to process the data.
    Once you have that I would probably automate it with some VBA but there might be some easy ways to do it natively in Excel, depending on what you are trying to accomplish.

    The file should look exactly like that one https://www.dropbox.com/s/dchzig6nnsa2qei/Sample2.xlsx
    I am not sure how the date will be used, I am just creating the files.
