    Splitting text from one cell into separate text fragments, Located in adjacent cells

    Hello

    I am looking for some insights/solution to the following problem.

    I have files that contains data like "Hello world, this is day 295" in a certain column in the file (Let's say column A). I need to leave this data as-is, but created new columns containing all the individual data fragments from this data (see example file).

    The data I need to break is in col "X" (not specifically in col A) and the fragmented data can be placed in any consecutive columns of my choosing.
    The length of the data in each original data field in unknown, and so are the number of text fragments in it.

    I saw a couple of solutions, which gave a partial solution to my problem:
    One created rows from the fragments data.

    The other did almost exactly what I wanted, but "stepped over" the original text.

    Personally, I liked the second solution, because it already contained the option to run across a large number of records in a column. I Just need to find out how make the macro start placing the fragmented data in a new columns, leaving the original data intact.

    Hoping you can help me
    :D
