    Smile split cell contents

    Hi All,

    I have column of cells, each cell has an alpha-numeric content.

    I would like to split it up.

    for example:

    Cell contains: A05B

    I would like to take this cell and put the 'A', to '0' and the "5B" into 3 seperate cells.
    New cells contents: cell1=A, cell2=0, cell3=5B.

    (or split any combination of the above)

    Thanks,
    Dave

    I tried that... there are no delimiters within the cell... I tried formatting the cell to text still didn't work.

    thanks for your help

    Assume
    A2 = A05B
    B1, C1, D1 are 1, 1, 2

    The B2 would be =MID($A$2,1+SUM($B$1:B$1)-B$1,B$1)

    Drag right and down (If there is more then A2)
