    De-concatenate?

    Is there a way to de-concatenate a cell? I have cells which contain 5-letter
    abbreviations (ex. a cell might have "GGGGG TTTTT GTCTG") and I'm trying to
    find a way to seperate these into seperate cells. Is there a function or
    process that makes this easier than doing it manually? Any help would be
    apreciated.

    RE: De-concatenate?

    Try the text to columns feature... Data->Text To Columns

    In your example, it looks like each abbreviation is separated by a space, so
    choose Delimited and check "Space"

    Data->Text to Columns->Delimited - and indicate that the delimiter is a space

    Make sure you have empty columns to the right of your data, as it will
    overwrite anything there
