Splitting a delimited text
Hello again.
I have a cell with data, delimited by a comma. The data is text. I need to get this data split into individual cells. Any neat way to do this automated? |

Splitting a delimited text
There is a text to columns feature available.
Make sure the columns to the immediate right are empty. Any data in them will be overwritten.

Splitting a delimited text
I am aware of the 'Text to columns' wizard. I was hoping to automate
this, though. Thanks anyway. :o) - Atle On Jul 2, 7:49 am, "T. Valko" wrote: There is a text to columns feature available. Make sure the columns to the immediate right are empty.

Splitting a delimited text
I need my users to enter delimited data in a cell, and be able to
split this data in another workbook, to ease printing and searching. The data does not have a set format. As a workaround I have set a range of columns that the user enter the data in individual cells manually, but that hurts the user's readability while entering and editing the data.

Splitting a delimited text
I've settled on instructing my users to enter one piece of data in
each column to work around the issue, although a macro could probably do it. Thanks for your input, guys.
