Nice one...

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

Game on!

Here is my solution

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.
