Can someone help me, got a problem with Excel, I’m sure it should be something simple but no idea what it is.
In cell E2 I have a list of codes shown as ‘9d, 11b, 10d, 7b, 10c, 7c, 13c, 2f’ but I need them all in separate cells hopefully N2 to U2. Is there a simple formula that can do that??
I don’t really want to have to type them all in as I’ve another 40 rows of them!
Cheers

Hmmm... tricky. Googling did turn this up:

Split the contents of cells across multiple cells

You cannot split a cell or range (range: Two or more cells on a sheet. The cells in a range can be adjacent or nonadjacent.) of cells that was not previously merged. You can, however, divide the contents of unmerged cells and display them across other cells.

1. Select the cell, the range of cells, or the entire column that contains the text values that you want to divide across other cells. A range can be any number of rows tall, but no more than one column wide.

Important Unless there are one or more blank columns to the right of the selected column, the data to the right of the selected column will be overwritten.
2. On the Data menu, click Text to Columns.
3. Follow the instructions in the Convert Text to Columns Wizard to specify how you want to divide the text into columns.

Note For help with completing all the steps of the wizard, click Help Button image in the Convert to Text Columns Wizard.

Give that a shot...

Thanks very very much Bungleau!!

You're welcome :) Learned something myself this morning... ;)

Well once you've learned something might as well go back home! Don't want to over do it on one day :D

I work at home, so mission 2 accomplished... ;)

Working from home, now that sounds like a good idea!
But thanks to moving house I am now only 2.5 miles from work! wooo

That's barely enough time to get the car warmed up in the winter... ;)
