    Data seperation

    I have a goodreads.com account to keep track of our growing paperback collection, but the data is not in a friendly form, so I want to mke it more user friendly by using that data in another excel book to format it better for reading on my iphone as a simple xlsx book. So the source date will be added to in the future.

    RAW Title in column A is like the following 3 lines:

    Brothers Majere (Dragonlance: Preludes, #3)
    Infinity's Child
    The Crusading Wizard (Wizard in Rhyme, #7)

    Line 1 contains the Title: Brothers Majere, Series: Dragonlance, Sub-Series: Preludes, and # in the series 3.
    Line 2 Contains only the Title: Infinity's Child
    Line 3 contains the Title: The Crusading Wizard, Series: Wizard in Rhyme, and the # in the series 7, no Sub-Series

    I would like to separate the data into 4 columns:
    Title Series Sub-Series #

    I suppose find and mid are involved but am unsure.
    I do not want to edit the original file as this will change as I add books an export from the site.
    Any aid would be nice, Thank-you
