Hi Sunny, The Text to Columns Excel built-in feature supports to split a cell to columns by a given character, and the Split Cells feature of Kutools for Excel also supports to split cells by one character.

This just shows how horrible excel is This feature can not only split cells by all kinds of delimiters to columns, but also split cells to rows. Ok, so here is a problem I am stuck on that I cannot seem to resolve.

I am looking to break up a long string of text with the following requirements: 1 Text can only be broken up at a space not in the middle of a word 2 The total length for each parsed cell must be as close to 40 characters as it can get using the space rule above.

For example, this comes in a single cell: "It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief". Kindly assist.

Thank you so much for posting this, it's really very helpful at times. Hi Huy, How do you want to split the cells by? By length? The split function uses a comma delimiter, so that each section of the text becomes an element of the array.

A counter variable is set to 3 which represents column C, which will be the first column for the split data to be displayed. The code then iterates through each element in the array and populates each cell with the element. Cell references are based on n for the row, and Count for the column. The variable Count is incremented in each loop so that the data fills across the row, and then downwards.

Right-click on the header for your data column Column1 and click on Insert Column in the pop-up menu. This will insert a calculated column where a formula can be entered.

This is a complicated formula, and you may wish to break it into sections using several calculated columns. You can continue modifying the formula to create calculated columns for all the other components of the text string.
