CONVERT TEXT DATA TO EXCEL

Dear Friend,

I have enclosed herewith a text document which I want to convert in to excel in exact format. I have also tried Text to Column Method to do the same. The result of which has been also provided in an excel file enclosed herewith.
It goes with out saying that the result is not satisfactory. I want better result so that I can use the excel file for further analysis.
My question is : whether or not there is any way to convert the text file to an excel suitable format. Either the solution may be VBA or other formula etc.

Regards,
Somnath

Hi,​
best is to create export file with other than space delimiter !​
Despite, you could try to use the Assistant converter with fixed format …​

Hi, somnath6309!
Could you upload a manual filled workbook with the 2 worksheets corresponding to the uploaded text files, as you would want to have them in Excel?
Regards!

Hi!
Better indeed it might be exporting directly to Excel format, but if none of these 2 are available for the OP...
Regards!

Hi, somnath6309!
Could you tell us which is the data source from where you get that report?
Regards!
 
This topic is the same as last question of this, just a few minutes of difference:

What you're doing "is called cross-posting and is generally frowned upon in the Blogosphere as it causes people to potentially waste our time when a question is already answered. You should also check and respond to posts and let posters know if they are heading in the write direction or not." Hui's dixit, SIC. And I agree 101%.

If you'd have read the main green sticky post at this forums main page...

...you should have noticed this points:

"Consider that the world is operating 24hrs a day. A late post today may well be answered by someone else overnight."

"If you and a reader have been involved in an ongoing conversation and the conversation suddenly stops, recognize that the person may have gone to bed, even though you have just arrived at work. In the worst case a reader may go on holidays and not get back to the question for a few days."

"Never title your posts as "Urgent", "Priority" "Immediate". It may be Important to you, but not for rest of the members here. These words will be moderated out."

"Cross Posting, generally it is considered poor practice to cross post, that is to post the same question on several forums in the hope of getting a response quicker.
If you do cross post, please put that in your post.
Also if you have cross posted and get an answer elsewhere, have the courtesy of posting the answer here so other readers can learn from the answer also, as well as stopping people wasting there time on your answered question."

"Say "Thanks", whenever you can. Recognize when someone has bothered to go to the trouble and time to assist you with your question for free. Often readers will spend several hours working on a solution to a problem, a line of recognition will go a long way."
