    Simple MACRO to delete words not required in ROWS

    Hello Fellas.

    I am no experienced Excel user nor am i a big VB coder.

    I have an excel table of 3 million rows and increasing.
    Its actually resumes of many jobseekers.

    IN the table for 'Industry' column some jobseekers tend to put many industires instead of one to desperately get job fast so my rows are not up to date for me to do some mysql queries..

    What i am trying to say is for example if a jobseeker is supposed to put 'Accounting/Finance' ( which is fine) but some people put 'Accounting/Finance/Administration/Auditing/Stock/Hotel/HelpDesk/Networking' and some put even more than that...

    So basically i need the rows to be sorted...

    is there a script or macro where if anything is more than 'Accounting/Finance' I can delete the extra words in it..? Since i like to select only the first one word or two words and delete their rest of the selections to make my life easy...

    I have similiar things with another rows for the column 'Job Specialistaion'..

    Any suggestions on how to solve this problem?

    Thanks in advance.

    Your post does not comply with Rule 1 of our Forum RULES. Your post title should accurately and concisely describe your problem, not your anticipated solution. Use terms appropriate to a Google search. Poor thread titles, like Please Help, Urgent, Need Help, Formula Problem, Code Problem, and Need Advice will be addressed according to the OP's experience in the forum: If you have less than 10 posts, expect (and respond to) a request to change your thread title. If you have 10 or more posts, expect your post to be locked, so you can start a new thread with an appropriate title.
    To change a Title on your post, click EDIT then Go Advanced and change your title, if 2 days have passed ask a moderator to do it for you.

    PLEASE PM WHEN YOU HAVE DONE THIS AND I WILL DELETE THIS POST

    As an aside, you can't have 3m rows in an Excel table.

    Yeah, I have changed the Title as per your instructions.
    Also I do not have 3 Million in one Excel sheets but scattered along in 50 Different Excel sheets.
    Thanks
