XML tags are user defined, but in this example, s will represent a sub-node and t will represent the main node. Note that each of the nodes defined is followed by a closing node with a backslash. These XML tags define the start and finish of each section of the text, and effectively act in the same way as delimiters. The above formula will insert the XML tags into the original string and then use these to split out the items into an array.
As seen above, the array will spill each item into a separate cell. You can use this same pattern to return any part of the sample text, just change the [2] found in the formula accordingly. You can check out this guide on using flash fill to clean your data for more details.
You then select the first cell of where you want your data to split and click on Flash Fill. Excel will populate the remaining rows from your example. Flash fill should automatically fill in the remaining data names from the sample data.
Select the subsequent cells D2 to G2 individually, and click on the Flash Fill icon. The rest of the text components will be populated into these columns. This Excel functionality can be used to split text in a cell into sections based on a delimiter character. This will only work with commas as delimiters, since a CSV comma separated value file depends on commas to separate the values.
Open Notepad and copy and paste the sample data into it. You can open Notepad by typing Notepad into the search box at the left of the Windows task bar or locate it in the application list.
Enter a filename with a. Split Data. You can then open this file in Excel. Select the csv file in the browser file type drop down and click OK. Your data will automatically appear with each component in separate columns. VBA is the programming language that sits behind Excel and allows you to write your own code to manipulate data, or to even create your own functions.
Click on Insert in the menu bar, and click on Module. A new pane will appear for the module. Paste in the above code. This code creates a single dimensional array called MyArray. The split function uses a comma delimiter, so that each section of the text becomes an element of the array. A counter variable is set to 3 which represents column C, which will be the first column for the split data to be displayed. The code then iterates through each element in the array and populates each cell with the element.
Cell references are based on n for the row, and Count for the column. The variable Count is incremented in each loop so that the data fills across the row, and then downwards. Power Query in Excel allows a column to be manipulated into sections using a delimiter character.
The first thing to do is to define your data source, which is the sample data that you entered into you Excel worksheet.
Click on From File in the first drop down, and then click on From Workbook in the second drop down. This will display a file browser.

Mozilla Fights Double Standard. Connect to a Hidden Wi-Fi Network. Coincidentally enough, we next create an instance of the Scripting. Why would we do that? We do that because this gives us an array with the following items:. Is that worth having? You bet it is; after all, each item in the array corresponds quite nicely with the individual fields in our line of text. As we noted earlier, we need to know if the second field in this line of text has the word Everyone in it.
Well, now we have a very easy way to check for that:. Hence the value 1 in arrFields 1. If the target word is not found in arrFields 1 then we simply loop around and repeat the process with the next line in the text file. If the target word is found, then we execute this line of code:. And yes, we specified 5 as the index number for a very good reason: the sixth item in an array will always have an index number of 5.
If we then close the file Everyone. In other words, these are the printers that the Everyone group has access to. That should do it, RP. Time for a coffee break, you know.
