Hi,
I have full address in once cell and I was just wondering if there any
way to un-concatenate it in all different cells. Here is the example

Cell A1

16545 Dingo St
suite 656
Chicago, IL 54545

Please help me if you know how to save all of that cell into 5
different cells (address1, address2, city, state, address).

Thank you so much in advance

Assuming the format is somewhat similar to what you have posted, you could use
Regular Expressions.

The formulas assume that address2 will be a blank line if not present.
The formulas also assume that the STATE is always characterized by the sequence
<comma<space<capltr<capltr<space

Download and install Longre's free morefunc.xll add-in from
http://xcell05.free.fr

It is easily distributable with the workbook, if that is an issue.

Then use these formulas:

address1: =REGEX.MID($A1,".*")
address2: =REGEX.MID($A1,".*",2)
city: =REGEX.MID($A1,".*(?=,\s[A-Z]{2}\s)")
state: =REGEX.MID($A1,"(?<=,\s)[A-Z]{2}(?=\s)")
zip: =REGEX.MID($A1,"(?<=,\s[A-Z]{2}\s).*")
