If someone sends me a database, with one cell with an entry such as "1234 Smith St, Apt 5"

Can it be converted to two cells, one with "1234 Smith Way" and another with "Apt 5"

Thanks in advance

Hi
If text in A1

Code:
B1=LEFT(A1,FIND(",",A1)-1)
c1=RIGHT(A1,LEN(A1)-FIND(",",A1)-1)

If you have an entire column like that you can use Text To Columns on the data tab & select Delimited > Next > Comma > Finish

And if you like with code try for one cell
can easily amended for column
Code:
Sub spliteit()
x = Split(Range("a1"), ",")
Range("b1") = x(0)
Range("c1") = x(1)
End Sub

For data in column A


Code:
Sub spliteitC()
a = Application.Transpose(Range("a1:a" & Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row))
For i = 1 To UBound(a)
x = Split(Range("a1"), ",")
Range("b" & i) = x(0)
Range("c" & i) = x(1)
Next
End Sub

So sorry correction for the second code
Code:
Sub spliteitC()
a = Application.Transpose(Range("a1:a" & Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row))
For i = 1 To UBound(a)
x = Split(a(i)), ",")
Range("b" & i) = x(0)
Range("c" & i) = x(1)
Next
End Sub
