I have a large CSV with a couple of columns containing HTML over hundreds of rows. I need to separate certain parts into new columns. For example, a cell can contain:
To prevent super long formulas, may be easier to split formulas over two columns and hide the column if you want. For example, if you text is the A column, then put these formulas in the following cells: into B1:
=RIGHT(A1,LEN(A1)-FIND("class=""title"">",A1)-13)
into C1:
=LEFT(B1,FIND("</div",B1)-1)
into D1:
=RIGHT(A1,LEN(A1)-FIND("class=""description"">",A1)-19)
into E1:
=LEFT(D1,FIND("</div",D1)-1)
then copy\fill down.
For the Description: (Output: This is a description)
=REPLACE(REPLACE(REPLACE(F9,FIND("This is a title",F9,1),LEN("This is a title"),""),1,LEN(".some-class{property:value;}"),""),LEN(REPLACE(REPLACE(F9,FIND("Thisis a title",F9,1),LEN("This is a title"),""),1,LEN(".some-class{property:value;}"),"")),1,"")
For the Title: (Output: This is a title)
=REPLACE(REPLACE(REPLACE(F9,FIND("This is a description",F9,1),LEN("This is a description"),""),1,LEN(".some-class{property:value;}"),""),LEN(REPLACE(REPLACE(F9,FIND("This is a description",F9,1),LEN("This is a description"),""),1,LEN(".some-class{property:value;}"),"")),1,"")
It is not very solution but you can consider changing the strings inside to formula to get your desired string. It can do (though time-consuming) if you still can't find the best solution.
