I have an excel sheet with subjects and courses and the main focus of
classes, that I need to automatically combine into one column.  The
problem is the data presents in three columns and in various parts of
the text.  So I need help working out a formula that will extrapalate
specific data and create a list of categories, sub categories and sub
sub categories automatically over 5000 lines.  If anyone can help me
with a formula for this using excel, your expertise would be greatly
appreciated, and rewarded!

it is not clear what you want to accomplish.  Send me a sample of your
file with existing data and how you want the data to be transformed.
Send your excel file to narsi.n@gmail.com
