    separate-out digits from numbers

    hi excelers

    I need a solution to this question:
    what formula would separate-out the single digits from say "2610514117" (in a column)

    to

    A1 = 2
    B1 = 6
    C1 = 1
    etc...

    Assuming original is in A1, then try in B1:

    =MID($A1,COLUMNS($A$1:A1),1)+0

    copied across...

    If this is not related to the initial question you should really start a new thread...

    Also, I don't understand what you mean.. so you should elaborate in your new thread if you want a solution.

    Please mark this one as Solved.
