Cell A1 contains the text "TomJonAlf".
I am trying to separate the text into three text strings using an array
formula.
I have got so far but I am stuck now.
In cells A2 to A9 I have entered the array formula:
{=MID(A1,ROW(INDIRECT("1:"&LEN(A1))),3)}
This creates the following array:
Tom
omJ
mJo
Jon
onA
nAl
Alf
lf
f
I was hoping to use the following array formula to return Tom, Jon and
Alf:
{=INDEX(MID(A1,ROW(INDIRECT("1:"&LEN(A1))),3),{1,4 ,7})}
But it just returns Tom. What am I doing wrong?
I know I could achieve this in a simpler way but I need to use the
results in a further step that I know demands an array.
Thanks
