This, in essence, is a smarter way to copy and paste the data into new cells.Ĭlick inside the first cell of the appropriate column-the one named “First, in our example-and type in the first name of the first person in your dataset. If you only have a few names, and you don’t want to mess with the Text to Columns Wizard, you can use Flash Fill instead. If this happens, just click inside the “Destination” area within the wizard or add the information manually into the Destination field. Keyboard Shortcut: Select any cell from the column that has the address info. You may notice a chime and then an inability to select the cell you want to move the data into. To do so, we’d highlight the first names in the wizard (notice the black highlight in the screenshot that signifies the active column) and then click the appropriate cell. We could do this differently-for example, adding first names to column B and last names to column C. Next, we’re going to click the cell where we want to start adding the data-in this case B2-and click “Finish.” This will add the first and last names to their respective columns. You can use any delimiter that fits your data set. Then click the little triangle and select Insert 1 right.
You can do so, click on the header ( A, B, C, etc.). Split columns with SPLIT () Create at least two columns next to the column with the data you want to split. In the ‘Data Tools’ group, click on ‘Text to Columns’. In this case, we’re using comma and space because each cell in column A has a comma and a space separating the two. The first method is the formula SPLIT (): 1st method. Select the cells in which you have the text that you want to split (in this case A2:A7). Delimiters are simply how the data is separated. Check both the “Comma” and “Space” delimiters and then the “Next” button.
