to many line continuations during parsing

[jacque]

I have 271 numbers in A1 that come from another program I can parse them manually with no problem, however when I create a macro, I get the following error "too many line continuations".

I tried annually to add the command to the macro, but no luck.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thx

Show us your Macro

Use the # icon to place Code Formatting Tags around the selected Code

Thanks for the replay, I do not understand your answer i try to copy the code but will not let me paste, or attach the file.

Looking at that mess, I see that the last line of the Code has a Line continuation to the "End Sub"

Sam:
yes it is a mess, however i can not add any more lines before "End Sub", it will not accept anymore line.

It looks like Excel vba editor limits you to ~26 line continuations. You can somewhat get around it using longer lines to bring the continuation count to under 26. So for example, this won't work:

Option C would be to explain what you are trying to do to see if someone here can suggest a more elegant way.

[rlv]

Maybe something like this instead:


'From row A1 to last row in A with data
Sub ParseCSVData()
Dim WS As Worksheet
Dim ColRange As Range, R As Range
Dim N As Long
Dim SA As Variant

Set WS = ActiveSheet
With WS
Set ColRange = Range("A1:A" & Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row)
End With

For Each R In ColRange
SA = Split(R.Value, ",")
For N = 0 To UBound(SA)
R.Offset(0, N).Value = SA(N)
Next N
Next R
End Sub

RLV:

This one worked great, thanx you save my life:yes

The string comes from another software, i manually copy and paste to excel to make few changes and get the final result.

again thanx
