Multiple lines data in each cell conversion

[Tom2]

Hello Experts,

I have a data table that has multiple lines data in each cell (first line is check-in time and second line is check-out time). I want to convert the given data table into the expected format as shown below. I really have no ideal how to make it happen. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Excel formula is preferred.



A sample data file attached. Thanks.

With Power Query

let
    Source = Excel.CurrentWorkbook(){[Name="Table1"]}[Content],
    #"Unpivoted Columns" = Table.UnpivotOtherColumns(Source, {}, "Attribute", "Value"),
    #"Split Column by Delimiter" = Table.SplitColumn(#"Unpivoted Columns", "Value", Splitter.SplitTextByDelimiter("#(lf)", QuoteStyle.Csv), {"Value.1", "Value.2"}),
    #"Renamed Columns" = Table.RenameColumns(#"Split Column by Delimiter",{{"Attribute", "Date"}, {"Value.1", "In"}, {"Value.2", "Out"}})
in
    #"Renamed Columns"

Power Query is a free AddIn for Excel 2010 and 2013, and is built-in functionality from Excel 2016 onwards (where it is referred to as "Get & Transform Data").

It is a powerful yet simple way of getting, changing and using data from a broad variety of sources, creating steps which may be easily repeated and refreshed. I strongly recommend learning how to use Power Query - it's among the most powerful functionalities of Excel.

Thanks Alan for your quick response. It's very helpful.

I wonder if it's possible to conduct the conversion using any excel formula since the actual inputs includes multiple separate parts in each worksheet ? Thanks.

With a user-defined-function? See attached in cells H9 and H15.
