Currently, I have large text set in 1 field (Comments) with various information in Questions/Answer. I am looking to separate each question via proper column and prefill proper columns with corresponding answers. Can someone please help how i can tackle it? -------------------------------------
• What is your name?
John Doe
• What is your favorite color?
Blue
• Where do you live?
New York
-----------------------------------------
thank you,

Post some real sample data - if your data really looks like this - perhaps use text to column and split by ?

Hi, Data doesn't look like that unfortunately for all of the cases. For those users who do follow instructions they put it in that format, others don't. I am concentrating right now who does follow and puts text like this. I am looking for REGEX options that can help me maybe to extrapolate text between questions?

That was my expectation - you can try regex in parse mode - and set your questions as defining breaks between responses -but this would be much easier with some sample data.
