Insert a column within a range of cells
It sounds like you don't really want to insert a column. You just
want to insert some cells in some selected rows. If you highlight the range of cells where you want to insert the "column" then click Insert - Cells you will be prompted to "Shift cells right", "Shift cells down", "Entire row" or "Entire column". I suspect from your description you will want to "shift cells right" since that will be like inserting a column, for a specific group of rows. Good luck.

I tried that, but perhaps I am explaining it incorrectly. I want to split
the cell into two cells, and maintian the column without adding another column. If that makes sense........... " wrote: It sounds like you don't really want to insert a column.

What do you expect to see above and below the range of split cells?
You could merge the cells above and below and you would effectively have a range of rows where there are two columns of total width equal to the one column above and below; but, merged cells suck. They would have to be merged a row at a time (or through code) and in the end you would have a lot of merged cells and merged cells are to be avoided; not necessarily at all costs, but, usually there is a better way.
