Anyone know how can I split this address into separate columns?
Ex. Street, State, Country, Zip etc.
sample data
Haven't tried anythin since im clueless what to do

Scenario: I have a field for address, however we need to upload it to a database and the way it was formatted was the whole address, when in reality we needed, the address, state and zip separately.
attempts: I tried using the Text To Columns and Delimited function in excel but I can only split it by like, commas, spaces, etc.
Goal: Is there a way to split it using a word like, "FL" or "PORT SAINT LUCIE"?
Example of address: ="1459 SE BURKAY AVE PORT SAINT LUCIE FL 34563"
Easiest way to resolve this issue without VBA Makro is to find and replace the specific word preceded by a comma so as to choose your delimiter that way.
Hi guys I have no idea how to do it at all since I probably don't get the logic behind building a formula for it so I'm going to ask here instead.
I'm administrating students' photos and have to collect them, and rename them to a consistent format. Basically, I have to do the following:
List the photo names by writing a .bat file using a simple command like dir /b *.jpg *jpeg *png *tiff >ClientList.txt
I create an Excel sheet to look for the students' names and student ID through a main database by performing Index Match
I Concatnate the results into a batch of Commands to be placed at Command Prompt to rename every photo at once
As of now, I am stuck at Step 2, doing them manually, because many students did not follow the guidelines and sent in their photos with sometimes only students IDs, sometimes First name, Last Name, sometimes Last Name, First Name; and sometimes a mix of name and student IDs. Also, students use names coming in different languages (Chinese and English)
As such, I want to have a way for Excel to search for the columns that contain English Names, Chinese Names and Student ID and return the closest match so that I don't have to identify them one by one.
I hope my question can be understood as I am not too sure how to explain it thoroughly.
I have an Excel challenge that has been giving me issues. If you see attached I was able to successfully separate the "senders address" column into an address, state, city, zip format. The problem I am having is the "receivers address" column. I tried using the text to columns feature but the spacing throws off the data drastically.
Does anyone know a better solution on how to potentially separate the receivers address column into the address, city, state, and zip format?
See example here.
I can't help with separating the street address and city (unless you are lucky and there are zero-width spaces in your data, as mentioned in the comments). But we can get your states and zip codes by adapting the formulas in this answer:
Helper column:
=LEFT(A2,FIND("#",SUBSTITUTE(A2," ","#",(LEN(A2)-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(A2," ","")))/LEN(" ")))-1)
Street Address + City:
=LEFT(B2,LEN(B2)-2)
State:
=RIGHT(B2,2)
Zip Helper:
=TRIM(RIGHT(SUBSTITUTE(A2," ",REPT(" ",LEN(A2))),LEN(A2)))
Zip:
=IF(LEN(E2)>5,LEFT(E2,5)&"-"&RIGHT(E2,LEN(E2)-5),E2)
I have two lists of street addresses that have a combination of street numbers and names in one cell. One list is a key, if you will, of how the addresses are labeled in our company, and the other list is all of the addresses that customers used to get a package to us. For example![Address Key][1]
is the correct address format. The other list has errors within the address because there may be errors with order, fat fingered street numbers, or spelling errors of the street names. I'd like to create a formula or find a way that looks for any portion of the second list, and have it return a "yes" or "no" if it is an address in the address key. The second list that I need to lookup with is below.![enter image description here][2]
You can see that the addresses that the customers enter do not match how we label our addresses. Hopefully there is a way for me to look up any part of the address that they entered against our key, and have it return a value that is associated with each address in the key. For example, the first address is location 100. Even though the customer list doesn't have that address entered correctly, i'm hopping it can find a part of the address they entered in our list.
Thanks,
Jay
You can try using a Vlookup with a 'TRUE' parameter in the RangeLookup argument. That way the Vlookup will return an approximate match against your company list. You may need to reformat the data a bit (e.g. concatenate house number and street name together) and do some iterations to get the final result that you need. You haven't added any screen shots so I can't see the exact format of your data.
I have 2002 addresses which have all been compiled into a single cell during the download process from my server; in most cases, the hash (#) symbol is used to separate fields (such as Line 1, Line 2, City, Postcode).
I have spent a lot of time trying combinations of LEFT, MID and other functions, but to no avail; the problem is that as there are so many addresses, and not all of them have the same number of characters for each field (such as Postcode - some will have 6 characters (including blank space), where some others will have five or more/fewer), there doesn't appear to be a one-size-fits-all solution that I can enter once and then use Excel's auto-fill handle/feature to complete the process for all records.
Here is a sample of my data (which has been anonymised):
44A THE ADDRESS#EALING#LONDON#W1 1WW#
541 PARSON PLACE#HENDON#LONDON#NW4 4WN#
SOMEBODY PRACTICE CHALKHILL PCC THE WELFORD CTR#11B CHALKHILL AVENUE#WIMBLEDONE MIDDX#HH9 9HH#
THE SEBELMONT MEDICAL CLINIC 18 EASTERN ROAD#SOUTHALL#MIDDLESEX#UN1 1NU#
130 FINGOVER COURT#REDBUS STREET#CAMBERWELL#SE5 5ES#
KING'S ELBOW MEDICAL CENTRE 17F STAGLAND LANE#KINGSBURY#MIDDX#NW9 9WN#
10 LADYFOOT ROAD RUISLIP#MIDDLESEX#HA4 4AH#
I want to be able to extract everything between the hash symbols (excluding/omitting the hash symbols themselves) and I am dedicating four columns to store this data: Address Line 1, AL2, AL3, Postcode.
Going by the first example (44A THE ADDRESS#EALING#LONDON#W1 1WW#) which resides in a single cell, I hope to achieve something like the following outcome:
AL1 AL2 AL3 POSTCODE
44A THE ADDRESS EALING LONDON W1 1WW
It doesn't matter if some of the address sections appear under the wrong column - I can very easily rectify this and can even add another column; I simply want to be able to extract the data from the single cell.
If you import the data as a text file, you can normally select the delimiter.
File->open
<select the file from the dialogue box>
This dialogue box should appear, after clicking next, it will appear as above, at which point, you can select a hash as a delimiter- instant self data sorting!
