    Text Import Wizard Cleanup

    While bringing in text from another source, excel seems to move back and forth a cell every once in a while. I have thousands of lines to clean up so I'm looking for an easier way. Below is an example of what I have and then an example of what I'd like. My issue is I can manually do it easily but I don't know how to do it all at once.
    While of course I'd like a solution, I'd also like to be pointed in the right direction? Perhaps a brief idea of how you resolved it?

    Thanks for any and all help!

    With a macro, try this on a copy of your data... it finds all the cells with TEXT in column B, then moves that cell and 5 more on the right to the left one cell.

    Please Login or Register  to view this content.
    How/Where to install the macro:

    1. Open up your workbook
    2. Get into VB Editor (Press Alt+F11)
    3. Insert a new module (Insert > Module)
    4. Copy and Paste in your code (given above)
    5. Get out of VBA (Press Alt+Q)
    6. Save as a macro-enabled workbook

    The macro is installed and ready to use. Press Alt-F8 and select it from the macro list.
