    You need to give more explanation about the logic being applied to each row. I can't easily see a consistent pattern.
    let Source = #table({"Question","Thread", "User"},{{"Answered","Mark Solved", "Add Reputation"}}) in Source

    If I give you Power Query (Get & Transform Data) code, and you don't know what to do with it, then CLICK HERE

    Walking the tightrope between genius and eejit...

    Re: Formula to parse, split data inside a text and combine with a column

    Hi Olly,

    I am trying to pull specific information from the text column "C" but the data that i am working with is very inconsistent. There's 3 types of data that i have here

    ADA
    Merch
    and then all other.

    a) for ADA I just need it to show : ADA and the date after STMT with the description before "_"

    b) for merch i just needit to show : MerchNow date and the description

    c) allother its set up as follows:
    MNT or GRO then Company Name Invoice# and description I want to eliminiate the MNT/GRO and pick the company name invoice number and select the description on column D.

    i have the examples set up on column F as to what I want to show. Thanks

    Which Excel version are you using? Your profile says 2003, but your attachment is 2007+...
