    Separating words in one cell into many cells

    Hello and good morning!

    I am having what they call a brain fart at the moment. I cannot recall the last time I did this and forgot.

    All words are in Cell A, separated by the ";" symbol. I want separate into different Cells. Example... Lead_ID in Cell A1, Application Data in A2, Date Purchased in Cell A3 and so on.


    lead_id;application_date;date_purchased;first_name;last_name;email;day_phone;work_phone;best_time;city;state;zip;addr;cred_rating;cred_score;yearly_income;prop_state;prop_type;purpose;loan_amount;prop_value;ltv;mtg_bal1;mtg_bal2;services;credit_repair;foreclosure;debt_management;comments

    Thank you for any assistance.

    Regards,

    Excel is cool

    Hi

    Try the TEXT TO COLUMNS option(Data>text to columns).

    Or you can use formula

    if your data in A1 use formula in B1 and pull it to the right until you see blanks.

    =TRIM(MID(SUBSTITUTE($A1,";",REPT(" ",LEN($A1))),(COLUMNS($B:B)-1)*LEN($A1)+1,LEN($A1)))
