The switch on the wall operates the outlet. I just put a ceiling fan/light in. Both the outlet and fan are wired with 12/3. I would like to put in 2 switches. I have tried everything I could possible think of. I have been up all night, back and fourth to the box. I was able to get the fan and light to work, but not the outlet. I was able to get the outlet, but not the fan. So I have a black and white coming in - the switch. I have red white and black coming in - existing . I have new red white and black coming. Please help - I am driving myself crazy! I have tried three way switches-single pole. I will await your help! Thank you in advance.

I would talk to an electrician. They have the tools and meters to make sure the job is done safely. Box fill could rapidly become a problem here. Without meters, assumptions have to be made that code was followed (black is hot, white is neutral.....)
I have this sketch on how it should be done to have the fan always powered and the light on the switch.
