    Extract each delimited value from column A into its own cell in new column

    i everyone,

    I have a spreadsheet containing email recipient metadata (email to, cc, bcc) that I am attempting to normalize. Column A contains the email IDs, and column B contains the recipients values, delimited by semi-columns. Below is an example:

    Col A |Col B
    00001 |Bob Smith [[email protected]];Brett Green [[email protected]]
    00002 |[email protected]
    00003 |Rob Peters ([email protected]) (Rob*[email protected]) [[email protected]];
    00004 |TGARN9 ([email protected]); MIKEROC ([email protected]);*[email protected]

    I need a way to take the individual recipient values from Column A, and paste them into a new column so that each cell only contains 1 value, the goal being to have a single column with each individual recipient value. Normally I would just use Text to Columns to put each delimited value in a new column, then manually copy the values from each column into my new target column. However many of these emails contain over 100 recipients (in a few cases up to 800), so doing this manually is out of the question. Is there a formula or VBA solution that can look through each cell in column B, and extract each delimited value into its own cell in a new column, as shown below?

    Col C
    Bob Smith [[email protected]]
    Brett Green [[email protected]]
    [email protected]
    Rob Peters ([email protected]) (Rob [email protected]) [[email protected]]
    TGARN9 ([email protected])
    MIKEROC ([email protected])
    [email protected]

    Rule 03: Cross-posting Without Telling Us

    Your post does not comply with Rule 3 of our Forum RULES. Do not cross-post your question on multiple forums without telling us about your threads on other forums.

    Post a link to any other forums where you have asked the same question.

    Cross-posting is when you post the same question in other forums on the web. The last thing you want to do is waste people's time working on an issue you have already resolved elsewhere. We prefer that you not cross-post at all, but if you do (and it's unlikely to go unnoticed), you MUST provide a link (copy the url from the address bar in your browser) to the cross-post.

    Read this to understand why we ask you to do this.

    Mumps has provided that for you today. Please comply with this and all our rules in the future
