extracted into three separate column. The end result would look like this Aaa (in column 1), AAA (in column 2), AAA (in column 3). Can someone please help me? |

Extracting text from string
The string can vary and will have different combinations, ie BB/AAA/B or
/B/B-. Is there a formula that will just extract the characters before the "/"? so in the string BB/AAA/B, column 1 will have BB, column 2 will have AAA, column 3 will have B.

Can someone please help me? 1] Select your column 2] Go to menu item Data, then Text to Columns in the list of Data options 3] A dialog box will appear. You can choose either "delimited" or "fixed width" 4] Choose "delimited", then next. 5] Different kinds of delimiters are displayed. Choose the "other" box and enter a front slash mark. 6] Click "Okay" Still confused? Beege |
