How can I cut data from one column and move it to another.
I have a list of several thousand data points in a txt file. When I copy it
it all goes into one colume but does seperate by line. There are two seperate data points in each line. I need to take the second point and move it into the second column. Example 1994 4.21 ( sperated by five spaces) into this 1994 | 4.21 ( two different columns) Is there a way I can tell Excel to skip 9 spaces and then cut the next four to the next column? |

Try selecting the entire column A after you paste. Then, from the menu,
choose Data--Text to columns. ************ Anne Troy www.OfficeArticles.com "mhbond999" wrote in message ... I have a list of several thousand data points in a txt file.
