Parsing Data File

Hi

 

I have a source file that has data in the following format -

 

Store1 - Summary - SKU1, SKU2, SKU3

Store1 - Details - 100, 200, 300

Store2 - Summary - SKU3, SKU2, SKU1

Store2 - Details - 600, 500, 300

Store3 - Summary - SKU2, SKU3, SKU1

Store4 - Details - 300, 200, 100

 

I will like to parse this data into a tabular format like this -

 

Store    SKU1    SKU2     SKU3

Store1  100        200        300

Store2   300       500        600

Store3  100        300        200

 

Please advise. Thanks in advance.

You can parse with the text to columns and then filter out the additional headers.
