text to column
I was given some 7000+ lines of data. It all text. Each row has all
the data in one cell and the information is separated by a differing number of "Space-bar" entries. What i am trying to do is do a text to column, but, the data is not uniform. Is there a way to removed the numeric spaces with something i can use to separate using the "text to column" feature? |
