stripping string & placing into cells
 

hey all

is it possible to strip each item from the below string and then plac
each item into a separate cell?

ie. I have a cell content such as:

U 25 Stewart, Patrick, A 100.64 0.00 123.35 0.00
0.00 0.00 25000.00 3555.01- 290.33

and would like to place each item into ajoining cells in a row (th
name can be taken as one long string)

thank

dabith,

Use Data - Text to columns. Delimited, specify space for the delimiter,
"treat consecutive delimiters as one."
