    CSV files and pivot tables - extracting 3 bits of data from 1 cell to get 1 bit of data

    Hello,

    I have a report that is next to useless when opened in Excel as I'm unable to quickly work out a daily/weekly value £.

    I've tried saving the document as a CSV file which does work a bit better but I'm still left with each cell containing three bits of data two of which I DONT need.

    The cells have an internal reference number a rate reference and then the value e.g. BK007000 NEG_7_28 70 The 70 refers to the value of the sale which is the only data I want to extract and be able to sum up per day.

    I thought using a pivot table would be the solution but I can't get that to work.

    Any suggestions. example attached.

    On another sheet, in A2

    =TRIM(RIGHT(SUBSTITUTE('Rate Analysis'!A2," ", REPT(" ",25)),10))+0

    dragged across and down
    You'll need to reassign formatting for dates and numbers.
    Does that work for you?
    You can then Copy>Paste Special Values to remove the formulas
