Spliting 1 Text field into 3
Help!
I currently export a task file from MSP to Excel which contains mulitple resources (comma seperated) in one field. Once I get the data to Excel I need to be able to split the values up. Is there a formula which allows me to split them up into 3 seperate fields? I use the data in pivot tables and then can't filter on any specific individual. Any help appreciated Thanks |

Use Data | Text to Columns... using the comma as a separator

Thank-you Trevor, worked! I had obviously over thought the problem.
