Hi,<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:eek:ffice:eek:ffice" /><o:p></o:p>
I am looking for some help. I am looking for a macro (or any other way) that will split a cell, then insert the data in the cells next to it, pretty much like text to columns work. I am unable to use text to columns as the delimiter for splitting the cells would be 2 or more consecutive spaces. i tried creating a text to column macro then amending the VBA code but for otherchar it will only accept the first character entered and so bypasses the multiple spaces. I found a few similar macros but I could not work out how to amended them for this.<o:p></o:p>
The macro would be run on a full column and to split the data new columns next to it. Here is an example.<o:p></o:p>
