Separating Data in the same excel column - excel

Question

I have a column of data with multiple value types in it. I am trying to separate out out each value type into a separate column. Below an example of the data:
6 - Cutler, Jay (Ovr: 83)
22 - Forte, Matt (Ovr: 88)
86 - Miller, Zach (Ovr: 80)
I tried to separate the data by a) going to data and clicking text to columns; however, the "Ovr: 80" portion of the data does not separate "Ovr" from 80. I also tried b) to convert to .csv file, but again was unable to separate "Ovr" from "80". Is there a formula I can use to separate this portion of the data from the rest?
I would like the data to be separated into different columns as show below:
6 | Cutler, | Jay | Ovr | 83
22 | Forte | Matt | Ovr | 88
86 | Miller | Zach | Ovr | 80
Any insight is much appreciated!

Answer 1

Select the cells you wish to process and run this macro to place results in the cells to the right of the selected cells:
Option Explicit
Sub dural()
Dim r As Range, s As String, ary
Dim i As Long, a
For Each r In Selection
s = r.Value
If s <> "" Then
s = Replace(Replace(s, "-", " "), ",", " ")
s = Replace(Replace(s, "(", " "), ")", " ")
s = Application.WorksheetFunction.Trim(Replace(s, ":", " "))
ary = Split(s, " ")
i = 1
For Each a In ary
r.Offset(0, i).Value = a
i = i + 1
Next a
End If
Next r
End Sub

Answer 2

using the method above your could do something like this...
first clean the text so its more manageable, using this formula and copying in a column you can clean it so it become a space delimited set
=SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(A1,"- ",""),",",""),"(",""),")",""),":","")
from there just copy the values the formula give you to a new sheet maybe and then use 'Text To Columns to get it split into columns.

For the record I do not recommend this method if you are willing to do the text to column option.
Functions used for this solution are:
LEFT function
FIND function
MID function
for your first column of text use the following:
=left(A1,find(" ",A1))*1
That will pull out the first number presuming you do not have any leading spaces. The *1 converts from text to a number.
for your second column of last times use the following:
=MID(A1,FIND("-",A1)+2,FIND(",",A1)-(FIND("-",A1)+2))
Provided you have a coma and a dash as indicated in your example data you will not get an error and it should pull the last name without the coma.
For your third column of first names follow the same general technique as last names with the following,
=MID(A1,FIND(",",A1)+2,FIND("(",A1)-2-(FIND(",",A1)+2)+1)
Follow the similar pattern to get you over column
=MID(A1,FIND("(",A1)+1,FIND(":",A1)-1-(FIND("(",A1)+1)+1)
and finally to get your age column use this:
=MID(A1,FIND(":",A1)+2,FIND(")",A1)-1-(FIND(":",A1)+2)+1)
copy the above formulas down as far as you need to go.
