Hi

Hope someone can help. I have an excell cell that contains an address with each part seperated by a comma. Is there any easy way to split this into different cells after each comma.

I.e. currently A1 has Mrs Smith, 125 Smith Street, Smithville, Smithshire

I want it to be Cell A1 Mrs Smith Cell A2 125 Smith Street, Cell A3 Smithville etc.
 

Excel Facts

Select all contiguous cells
Pressing Ctrl+* (asterisk) will select the "current region" - all contiguous cells in all directions.
Look at the text to coluimns feature in excel help menu.

using a comma as your delimiter should do the trick for you.

Any problems post back.

Just a small pointer: your delimiter is not just a comma, it's a comma followed by a space (so it's ", " without the quotation marks).
