I'm new to excel and finding it hard to do the following, I wish to seperate a series of numbers into their own coloumns. The numbers are in the format 01:02:03.04 , Note numbers are seperated by colons and full stops. I gather I may need to convert them to text first but all my attempts convert the numbers into something completely different. Can anybody help ?

Ambidextrous Undo
Undo last command with Ctrl+Z or Alt+Backspace. If you use the Undo icon in the QAT, open the drop-down arrow to undo up to 100 steps.

Welcome to the MrExcel board!

If the data is uniformly 2-digits per section like your sample, then may be this formula, copied across?
