The separation into 4 individual columns needs to look like the following:

20110401 FB14 906328150 ( Blank )

20110405 KL14 910765343 XJ13955/0001

Appreciate your assistance,
Pete

Hello,

Try Text to Columns

Select the range, go to Data | Text to Columns. make sure delimitted is selected. Next

Select Other & type "." (without quotes). Finish

A formula option,

B1, copy across.

=TRIM(MID(SUBSTITUTE("."&$A1,".",REPT(" ",100)),COLUMNS($B1:B1)*100,100))
