    Lightbulb Extracting data from machine generated participants list

    Hi,
    I get this (File attached) machine generated list of participants from an organiser and it's my job to ge the details. It can be between 100 and 250 people in this list so I need to find a smart way to extract the data.
    The problem is that the data is very linear and there no rules on what information is included and what position in the list the information is presented.
    Is there a way for me to fill in formulaes in the table on the right that will find the correct information from the list on the left?

    Administrative Note:

    Welcome to the forum.

    Is your forum profile up-to-date and showing ONLY the oldest Excel PRODUCT that you need this to work for?

    Members will tailor the solutions they offer to the Office PRODUCT (Excel, NOT Windows) that you have. Please check that your forum profile is up-to-date in this respect. If you aren't sure, in Excel go to File | Account and report what it says below the MS logo at the top of that page. If your product is for Mac, please also state this.

    The three most recent Excel products are Excel 2019, Excel 2021, Excel 2024 and MS365 - if you are using MS365, please give this name along with the version number in your profile (e.g. MS365 Version 2306). This is in the About Excel section further down the Account page.

    Thanks.
    Ali

    3 helper columns:
    Name: =IF(LEFT(A2,4)="Name",SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(A2,"Name = ",""),"""",""),B1)
    Attribute: =LEFT(A2,FIND(" ",A2)-1)
    Value: =SUBSTITUTE(MID(A2,FIND("""",A2)+1,100),"""","")

    In G2, copy across and down:
    =IFERROR(INDEX($D$2:$D$24,AGGREGATE(15,6,(ROW($D$2:$D$24)-ROW($A$1))/(($B$2:$B$24=$F2)*($C$2:$C$24=G$1)),1)),"")
