Hello World,
Greetings from Manchester, England.
If someone would be kind enough to supply me with knowledge of a formula based approach to my problem, I promise to pay your kindness forward to some unsuspecting stranger IRL.
I have put my excel file into a google drive folder at the bottom of this post. I have spent a good 24 hours on this and I can usually make excel submit to my will. (usually).
I have an online restaurant menu, complete with products, their names, descriptions, variances and prices.
I copy and paste the raw HTML code into an excel sheet. In another sheet i catch instances of the information i want from the lines of code. In another sheet i remove the blanks and rank their instance.
The tricky part comes with trying to get this information into a final and legible table.
Where for example:
Product #x - 1 Product name - 1 description - 0 variance - 1 price
Product #y - 1 Product name - 0 description - 2 variance - 2 price
(On this line product y needs to be carried, listing the 2nd instances).
The best case scenario is like the above or the attached image -
The use case - I want to parse 200+ menus to find at a glance prices for all of their items then put all of this data into one beautiful mammoth Microsoft Power BI report.
I do not think I will find a solution myself. Especially considering that if you were to quickly analyse the data in the sheet "Paste Values & Remove Blanks" you will find on row 616 a sauce product with 23 variations.
Please kindly help me if able.
Adam
