Partitioning Excel cell contents into separate cells
I have acquired a large spreadsheet with a column of cells each of whose
contents are like [1.234 6.712 5.436] Numbers like these, contained in square brackets, are from another application. How do I extract each number and place them in cells in adjoining columns, to get: column 1 column 2 column 3 1.234 6.712 5.436 ? |

Partitioning Excel cell contents into separate cells
Think you could try Data Text to Columns (Fixed Width). In step 2 of the
wizard, you can fine-click to insert the break lines to separate the square brackets from the first and last numbers. -- Max Singapore http://savefile.com/projects/236895 xdemechanik --- "Barrie" wrote: I have acquired a large spreadsheet with a column of cells each of whose contents are like [1.234 6.712 5.436] Numbers like these, contained in square brackets, are from another application.
