For example, maybe you want to pull out someone&#8217;s company name through their email address. Or perhaps you want to separate someone&#8217;s full name into a first and last name for your email marketing templates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thanks to Excel, both are possible. First, highlight the column that you want to split up. Next, go to the Data tab and select &#8220;Text to Columns.&#8221; A module will appear with additional information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>First, you need to select either &#8220;Delimited&#8221; or &#8220;Fixed Width.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>&#8220;Delimited&#8221; means you want to break up the column based on characters such as commas, spaces, or tabs.<\/li><li>&#8220;Fixed Width&#8221; means you want to select the exact location on all the columns that you want the split to occur.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>In the example case below, let&#8217;s select &#8220;Delimited&#8221; so we can separate the full name into first name and last name.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then, it&#8217;s time to choose the Delimiters. This could be a tab, semi-colon, comma, space, or something else. (&#8220;Something else&#8221; could be the &#8220;@&#8221; sign used in an email address, for example.) In our example, let&#8217;s choose the space. Excel will then show you a preview of what your new columns will look like.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you&#8217;re happy with the preview, press &#8220;Next.&#8221; This page will allow you to select Advanced Formats if you choose to. When you&#8217;re done, click &#8220;Finish.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.hubspot.com\/hs-fs\/hub\/53\/file-2420726051-gif\/Text_to_Column_GIF.gif?width=600&amp;name=Text_to_Column_GIF.gif\" alt=\"Text to Column in Excel\" title=\"Text to Column\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Ref: https:\/\/blog.hubspot.com\/marketing\/how-to-use-excel-tips<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What if you want to split out information that&#8217;s in one cell into two different cells?
