Hello every one,
i have a wordlist (dictionary Data) which contains of four Columns ABCD (about 70 000 entries in Column A):
A Words, B Transcription, C Grammar, D Meanings of words in A
Now some entries in Column D contain of reference to other words in Column A. For example:
________________________
before:
Col.A (words)...........................Col.D (Meanings)
W1 .................................... M1, M2, M3
W2 .................................... M4, W1 °°, M0
W3 .................................... W1 °°
W4 .................................... W1 °° (M5)
W5 .................................... W6 °°, M6, M7
W6 .................................... M8, M9
(The example is attached as excel file!)
_________________________
Now there are sometimes references to column A in column D instead of meanings. For example if one wants to know the meanig of Word "W3" then he/she should refer to "W1" cus both have the same meanings. The specific property of such refrences is that they are followed by "°°". Now i need a macro which looks the refrenced word in column A and put its corresponding meanings from column D and put them infront as new entry after "°°". According to our example the result would be:
________________________
after running the macro:
Col.A (words)...........................Col.D (Meanings)
W1 .................................... M1, M2, M3
W2 .................................... M4, W1 °°{{M1, M2, M3}}, M0
W3 .................................... W1 °°{{M1, M2, M3}}
W4 .................................... W1 °° {{M1, M2, M3}}(M5)
W5 .................................... W6 °°{{M8, M9}}, M6, M7
W6 .................................... M8, M9

I have about 70 000 Words in Column A and a macro would save me alot of time. I thank each help and support in advance.
