Extracting text from string
How can I extract the following string: Aaa/AAA/AAA? These need to be
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. Thanks, "Confused" wrote: How can I extract the following string: Aaa/AAA/AAA? These need to be extracted into three separate column.

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 |
