I received a csv file from a database that contains multiple records and multiple pieces of information per record. There does not seem to be any specific organization to this file - aside from sporadic headers contained within a cell of text... ie: Main/Home: (xxx) xxx-xxx .... which displays the phone number of the person included in that record. I need to convert this information into an organized file for a data migration. I've tried to copy/paste into word and convert to a table, i've tried copy/paste special - transpose in excel, i tried using a pivot table. I'm not even sure it's possible to clean this up without purely re-entering each data point manually. However, this file has 225,000+ rows right now.... so I'm willing to ask for any help, suggestions, advice anyone can give me. I do use arrays on a regular basis in other work I do in excel and feel fairly comfortable with most of the tools in excel.
I am attaching the original csv file saved as an excel workbook cropped down to 500 rows and edited slightly to prevent the posting of personal data (elrobinson data file) - as well as posting the template i'm needing to convert to for data migration (elrobinson convert to).
Thanks for any help!!
