I have a large string of text that was a former "Note" Field.

I have various dates within. Is there a way to delimit that string of text similar to how the Text to Columns feature works? But instead of by , "comma" you can use a date?

Thanks guys

Here is a sample of what I have:

01/01/2016 12:00 Happy New Years. 02/02/2016 Is groundhog day. 03/15/2016 Today will be ran by hotcode 24. After you should run hotcode25. 04/04/2016 The account was closed, several delinquents.

Here is what I would like it to output: [Column]

[01/01/2016 12:00 Happy New Years.] [02/02/2016 Is groundhog day.] [03/15/2016 Today will be ran by hotcode 24. After you should run hotcode25.] [04/04/2016 The account was closed, several delinquents.]

How to create a cell-sized chart?
Tiny charts, called Sparklines, were added to Excel 2010. Look for Sparklines on the Insert tab.
Try Text To Columns - Deliminated
With a Period as the delimiter (put in the box labled 'other')
