    convert column with variable records to rows where last field identified by a string

    Data looks like this. The only thing that is consistant is that the revenue field always exists and always ends 'mil)' Other fields may be missing but have inconsistant clues as to content. eg company may contain 'plc' but may not
    If all 5 fields are present the data needs to become a row with 5 columns = Job Company Addr Industry Revenue
    If not we can place the revenue in the correct column and paste whatever other fields exist in columns counting back from the 'mil)' defining the last
    This may not be perfect but it would allow me to interpret the data

    Job
    Company
    Addr
