Default Text to columns

Hello everyone,

can I make this function work over a number of rows, where the text is
not the same in each row? or does it work on 1 column / 1 row at the
time?

Thanks

Will work on one column only, but multiple rows.

If the data in the rows is quite unique you could wind up with a lot of putting
things back together to get what you want.

There are various types of separators/delimiters so try to find one the will do
the job on "most" of the rows.

Sometimes you have to make a few passes to get it all broken out.

Keep the original column and work on a copy or copies of that column.
