Hello All -
I'm having an issue when I copy data from my POS software and then
paste it into Excel. I believe the issue revolves around the use of "
in certain fields.
For example, one of the lines that I'm having problems with looks like
this when I copy it to Notepad:
"AVN12223" "Pipe Extension - 3"" 336.40"
"Accessory" "9" "Each"
When I copy the same data on the clipboard to Excel it comes out like
this
AVN12223 Pipe Extension - 3"336.40Accessory
9 Each
As you can tell the second cell has more data in it then it should -
'Pipe Extension - 3"336.40Accessory'
It's apparent that the " behind the 3 is messing this process up.
Unfortunately I have a few hundred records in my system that end in
quotes that cannot be changed.
I've tried formatting the sheet as text first but that doesn't help me
out.
Any ideas on how I can work around this?
Thanks,
Jake
