Assistance with copying values in Excel - Advanced -
I'm trying to copy from specific column to value specific areas. Here's an example of what I'm trying to do below. At the moment I have all the values in a column, but I want to copy them to separate each column to specify a particular type of value.
column 1 column 2 (cat) column 3 (dog) column 4 (sheep) column 5 (fish) cat, dog cat dog sheep, cat cat sheep, dog, cat cat dog fish Sheep, Fish Sheep, Fish Dog, Fish Dog Fish
Currently all values are in column 1 (they are not text) and I want Excel to search each field in column 1 And the copy of the word in the related column as shown above B Create. So in the first example it found "cat" and "dog" and copied those words in column 2 (cat) and 3 (dog), respectively. No value was found for sheep and fish, so columns 4 and 5 were left blank (as they should). Also note that the value is not ordered in column 1. For example, cat is the first word in some cases, whereas in the second (i.e. the third example above) this is the last word that prevented me from separating multiple columns from breaking column 1.
Actually what I'm trying to do, Excel searches for column 1, and copy the word that is found in the appropriate column for each row. I am assuming that it can be done with some command order. How can I do this?
Thanks in advance!
