danny b.

Hi,
I am looking for a function that is able to do the following. I want the content of a cell to be split into pieces, eg. "house" is a string in a particular cell, i need "h" in seperate cell, "o" in another, etc.
Thanks in advance,

Hi Danny!

Try:

Data > Text to Columns
Use fixed delimiters applied to each character.

If the word "house" or any other word is in cell A1, try this formula =MID($A$1,COLUMN(A1),1) and copy it across cells B1 thru Z1. It will place each letter of a word in an individual cell
