Hi Anil, I Assume that your data is in Column A and your first row is having the column header.
So your data will start from 2nd row of Column A (i.e. from A2 cell) A1 Data A2 /ENTRY-10 OCT TRF/REF 6004ABS68300004230 /ORD/ Q-FAST TELECOM BV STRIJKVIERTEL 26 A 3454 PMDE MEERN /BNF/ INVOICENO 2011000000247 ACCOUNTNO 019481 A3 /ENTRY-10 OCT TRF/REF 6004ABS68300014073 /ORD/ U-WISS CONSULTANCY OUDAEN 26 LELYSTAD /BNF/201100000279 TRANSACTIEDATUM 10-10-2011 A4 /ENTRY-10 OCTTRF/REF 6004ABS68300025023/ORD/ U-WISS CONSULTANCY OUDAEN 26 LELYSTAD /BNF/201100000295 TRANSACTIEDATUM 10-10-2011 Copy and paste the below formula in any of the 2nd row cell (i.e. B2 cell) =TRIM(MID(SUBSTITUTE("/"&A2&REPT("/",6),"/",REPT(CHAR(32),255)),5*255,255)) Drag the B2 cell formula below for the remaining cells of B column.
