Separating Data Into Multiple Columns
I am copying a text file into Excel. I need help understanding how to insert column widths so that all the data in Excel will not be in one column, but in separate columns.

Look at Data==Text to Columns.

Separating Data Into Multiple Columns
Depends on the origin of the text as to the best way to accomplish it. I have always had the most success saving the text as a text file (Notepad) and then importing the text file into Excel. The assumption is that the text is delimited in some fashion? From the Excel File Open dialog, select Text files from the drop-down at the bottom of the dialog and select your text file. The text import wizard will guide you through the process, you just need to know if you want fixed width columns or if delimited. -- DCSwearingen Getting old, but love computers. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ DCSwearingen's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=21506 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=546001 |
