Split Cells

How can you split text in cells? Thanks!

RE: Split Cells

Hi Emma,

I'm not sure exactly what you're after. An example of what you're trying to do would be useful.

If you're talking about wrapping the text in a cell, right click the cell -> Format Cells... -> Alignment tab -> tick Wrap Text checkbox.

If you're talking about using functions to split up text in a cell, have a look at this article on microsoft's web site which details functions on splitting up text and distributing the chunks into cells of their own.

You can also use Excel's Text to Columns facility. Select the column and choose Data -> Text To Columns... and then follow the wizard.

I'd recommend you always save or backup your file before making such changes.

If this solves your query, please mark this question as resolved. If you have a further question, please post a reply and we'll get back to you as soon as we can. Thanks.

Regards, Rich.


 

Excel tip:

Sorting List Subtotals

If you find that you would prefer to show the items in a subtotalled list in a different order, eg ascending rather than descending, you can sort your list. To sort a subtotalled list, hide the detail rows and then sort the subtotal rows. When you sort a subtotalled list, the hidden detail rows are automatically moved with the subtotal rows.
IMPORTANT: If you do not hide the details rows before sorting a subtotalled list, your subtotals will be removed and all of the rows in your list will be reordered.
