    convert word or text file to Excel

    This may sound simple to you all' but for this old man it is driving me to pull out my hair - if I had any...

    I have several thousand names in a word/text list:

    Club name
    Contact name
    Address, City, State, Zip
    email

    I want to import into excel with a different format:

    Club name Contact Name Address, City, State, Zip email

    in horizontal columns rather than in vertical list.

    I've tried transpose - not doing it right I think - doesn't like the cell sizes?
    Also imported the text version of the file as comma separated, but it does not give me columns???

    Anyone know how I can do this???

    Upload a sample word file that we can work with that have enough records to make it representative of the entire file.

    Remember to desensitize the data.

    Click on GO ADVANCED and then scroll down to Manage Attachments to open the upload window.

    Agree a sample file will help, but you will probably need to do this in a few steps, not all in 1.

    Maybe just import to get the data, then start manipulating it to get it to how you want.
    1. Use code tags for VBA. [code] Your Code [/code] (or use the # button)
    2. If your question is resolved, mark it SOLVED using the thread tools
    3. Click on the star if you think someone helped you
