It all seems to be regex at the moment. Maybe its just me 🙂 (Check out the live stream to see me fumble around 🙂 https://youtu.be/-FA9lPdiHNc

Regex is really strong but really needs exercise. Sometimes split to columns by specific characteristics may be easier.

OK, I'm starting to love RegEx.

Here's the one I used

 

^(\d{7})(.*)\s(\w+)\s\((\d{4})\)\sCAT:(\w+-?\w*)\sPUB:(\w+-?\s?\w*-?\s?\w*)\s\$(\d+\.?\d{0,2})million,\s\$(\d+\.?\d{0,2})million,\s\$(\d+\.?\d{0,2})million,\s\$(\d+\.?\d{0,2})million,\s\$(\d+\.?\d{0,2})million$

 getting more comfortable with Regex, in the past I'd have probably done this in pieces with text to columns and formula tools.
