    Isolate data inside [ ] ; and ,

    Hi there,

    I have a format like this:

    ID Author Address
    1 [Amaya-Amaya, J.; Calvo-Paramo, E.; Calderon-Paez, A.; Torralvo-Morato, G.; Calixto, O. J.; Mantilla, R. D.; Anaya, J. M.; Rojas-Villarraga, A.] Univ Rosario, Sch Med & Hlth Sci, Ctr Autoimmune Dis Res CREA, Bogota, Colombia.

    I need to Isolate the data into columns, but giving priority to the first 'sentence' (everything inside the commas ,) after the ], the authors (the names inside [ ] ), and the countries (the very last word)

    In order to get this:

    1 Amaya-Amaya, J. Univ Rosario Colombia.
    1 Calvo-Paramo, E. Univ Rosario Colombia.
    1 Calderon-Paez, A. Univ Rosario Colombia.
    1 Torralvo-Morato, G. Univ Rosario Colombia.
    1 Mantilla, R. D. Univ Rosario Colombia.
    1 Anaya, J. M. Univ Rosario Colombia.
    1 Rojas-Villarraga, A. Univ Rosario Colombia.

    How can I achieve this? I really need this with urgency, but have no idea on how to do it

    Certainly I don't care if the other columns remain in the result sheet, as long as I can isolate the information for those three, I can rearrange the format later on...

    There are some rows where there's more than "one country", which would look like:
    [Name; Name; Name;] Data, Data, Data, Country. [Name; Name; Name;] Data, Data, Country.

    But it is still the very last word that I need as the country...

    It is, indeed, and I used that macro, unfortunately found several discrepancies... And preferred to open a new thread, but didn't imagine you would help me once again!,

    I deeply appreciate your help, thank you very much @GC Excel

    It worked perfectly!
