How do I parse the data in a cell
hi
you could use 2 formula to seperate the data into seperate cells. first part before the period. =LEFT(A1,FIND(".",A1)-1) second part after the period. =MID(A1,FIND(".",A1)+1,999) each formula would go in a seperate cell from the data. copy both formulas down as far as needed/ then copy the two fromula and paste special values. this will turn the fromulas in to hard data. you can then delete the original data.
