    Question data in one column into several columns with certain rules

    Hey Guys-
    I've looked around the forum and couldn't quite piece together what I need for this problem I'm having. I have minimal understanding of macros - probably a 2 week portion of a tech class I took years ago.

    I have data that is all within column A, but I need it to be separated into 14 separate columns.

    The data looks like this:
    *note xx's denote numbers

    11 - Product ID1
    ----------------------------
    1234567 AA A xxxx-x0 String1 String2(Company Name) String3 xxxxx1 01/11/11 01/11/13 02/13/12 xxxx2 03/13/13 xxxx3

    12 - Product ID2
    ----------------------------
    etc..

    As you can see the data is actually spaced out nicely, however, the strings may have extra spaces and that throws off the text-to-columns function.

    -Not all columns will have values
    -the string values may have one word or multiple words(with spaces and/or -)
    -The Product ID titles along w/ the dotted lines should be skipped (remain the same)

    Please help - information would be greatly appreciated to ease the headaches of my job. THANKS!
