I need to break a mixed charater string from a single cell into multiple
cells. For Example F62T-L needs to be broken down into seperate columns =
F, 62, T, L. The hitch comes with the string K500BB-PS, I need it to break
down into K, 500, BB, P and S. The tough one will be the "PS", sometimes
it's there, sometimes it's just the P, sometimes it's three characters. As
a an added items, the number I would like to convert from text to a number
value. I could do all of this by hand, we're only talking 150 to 200
entries, but having it automated would be nice. Appreciate any help.
