text to columns trouble with "zeros"
You have to specify that the output columns are Text, not General, in Step 3
of the Wizard. Or if you record a macro of this action, you get something like: Range("K1").Select Selection.TextToColumns Destination:=Range("K1"), DataType:=xlDelimited, _ TextQualifier:=xlNone, ConsecutiveDelimiter:=False, Tab:=False, _ Semicolon:=False, Comma:=False, Space:=False, Other:=True, OtherChar _ :="-", FieldInfo:=Array(Array(1, 2), Array(2, 2), Array(3, 2)), _ TrailingMinusNumbers:=True NickHK "ExcelUser777" wrote in message s.com...

For each of the fields?
I'd try it again.
