    you can use find function to get the position of your unique value that way you can tell excel where to cut of your parts.

    Hello GIRISH_KH,

    Welcome to the Forum!

    It would help to see the text file and to know what the value being looked for is.

    How To Upload Your File
    1. At the bottom right of the Reply window, Click the button Go Advanced
    2. At the top of the Your Message Window, in the first row of icons, Click the Paperclip icon.
    3. Click the Add Files button at the top right in the dialog box. This displays the File Manager dialog.
    4. Click the Select Files button at the bottom middle of the dialog.
    5. In the new window Find the file you want to upload, select it, and Click Open.
    6. You will now be back in the File Manager dialog. Click the bottom Middle button Upload File.
    7. Wait until the file has completely uploaded before you exit the File Manager dialog.

    File Manger Picture
    Sincerely,
    Leith Ross

    Remember To Do the Following....

    Hi Girish_KH,
    try it (assumes that the Excel file with the macro and the text file "sample-1.txt" are in the same folder)
