    Adding Spaces

    subject: Adding Spaces


    hello
    I am trying to enter information off of a bankstatement (in pdf) into excel and then transfer it into excel...

    My goal is to line up the date of the withdrawal with the description and the transaction amount

    MY GOAL is to get the data to look like this

    Columns:
    A B C

    10-18 Verizon Wireless 71.71
    10-18 Home Depot 34.51
    10-19 Staples store 55.66
    of Springfield
    10-20 Office Depot 66.77
    10-20 Shoprite of 88.88
    Springfield
    10-21 Prudential Insurance 500.00


    The data is separated by tabs.
    Unfortunately, there are problems with the vertical spacing..
    if there is a double line, it all gets "smushed"


    WHAT I HAVE NOW:

    10-18 Verizon Wireless 71.71
    10-18 Home Depot 34.51
    10-19 Staples store 55.66
    of Springfield 66.77
    10-20 Office Depot 88.88
    10-20 Shoprite of 500.00
    Springfield
    10-21 Prudential Insurance




    Is it possible to write a macro that will insert a blank space into column C for every time there is a blank space in column A...

    is it possible to make it such that, for every time a date is listed, in column A, the computer will output a number into column C (assuming i just list the numbers in column D, and the computer knows to select the first number in column D and then the next and so forth).

    Just an FYI:
    I used adobe professional to "copy as a table" the info from the bank statement, then paste into excel.. but it did not paste so neatly. From there, I copy and paste into quickbooks. I think this is the fastest way to type informatin from a scanned pdf bankstatement into quickbooks. If there is a faster way, i would love to know how (Btw, i know of BRC, big red consultant, but i dont want to pay for that)

    Please let me know thanx

    @jsvlad, please note that your post does not comply with Rule 5 of our Forum RULES - please choose the appropriate forum.

    I have moved your thread from Access Programming to Excel Programming

    You may also want to upload a sample file - obviously given nature of question dummy values etc...

    Hi,

    It's not clear what you mean by vertical spacing. i.e. a single cell wrapped round or two merged cells.

    Upload your example workbook with the precise layout of the results you expect so that we can see the problem in context.
