Faceting by words can help mine data out of comments fields. From the drop down on the column you are going to be mining, select 'Facet' then 'Customized Facets' and from that sub menu, select 'Word facet'. You can also facet for patterns (like lat/long entries in hours, min, seconds) using regex.  Image Added
Moving the data is easy- faceting the Comments column for entries with the word 'cast' shows us which entries were noted in their inventory as being 'casts'. We can see in the Text Facet of the Comments column that the word 'cast' is being used to mean a cast of a specimen. We can then see the records in the PrepType Text Facet is blank for those records. Edit the blank cells in bulk using the edit option in the facet display box. Change (blank) to Cast, and apply the change. This process can be done on any type of data.  Image Added
