Putting In Coma's Need Major Help
Hey Guys Its Sunday 7:44 am est and i have a forum i need to finish today but am a total Newb at Excel. This will be an easy question for all of you i am sure columm A on my sheet has names in it that goes about 57 lines deep. Is there a way to highlight the columm and put a coma to seperate it from columm b with just one click of a button instead of going person by person and doing it? -- ninjashadow80 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ninjashadow80's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=36662 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=564084 |

Putting In Coma's Need Major Help - Using Text To Columns?!?
the easiest way to separate all the names would be to use "text to columns"
under the "Data" menu. This allows you to convert each name into a separate column in an extremely fast manner. First ensure you have plenty of spare columns. If you have any doubts copy the column you wish to split to a brand new blank spreadsheet. with the data highlighted --Click on "Data" in the menu bar --Click on "Text to columns" --Select the option most appropriate (if the names are the same length then you could use fixed width: however I suspect you will need to use a "space" so choose the first option) probably "Delimited" --Click on Next --remove the tick from "Tab" and click inside the "Space" tick box --as you do this you should see an example of how your data will now appear in separate columns, click on Next --If you need to format any of the data for anything other than text use this screen to select the column and the option in the top right corner to change the format. -- you are now ready to click on " Finish" You should now have all your data displayed in separate columns Hope this is helpful and what you wanted to happen!!

I am not sure that I understand the problem. If the names are like "John
Smith" and you want "John,Smith" instead Substitute will do the trick. e.g set up a new column =SUBSTITUTE(C1," ",",",1). David F.
