Text string divided into 4 columns

[Wes]

Hi,

I have information in one column imported from another system. The
information is structured in one text string but each row includes a set of 4
different data strings diveded by a comma ",". Like this:
Red,house,door,20000
blue,cat,mouth,500
etc

I need a macro that look at all rows and dived the information in to 4
diffrent columns like this;

column A B C D
Red house door 20000
blue cat mouth 500

Grateful for any help in this issue.
Thanks!
Mats

Hi,
You dont really need a macro to do this
Click Data / Text to columns / delimited / select comma
and you're done

hi wes

you can select the first column and then do following:
go to "Data" --> "Text to Column..." -->
there you choose:
- Delimited -> Next
- deselect "Tab", select "comma" -> next
- Finish

if you need it automated, just record the macro and have
a look at the code, that Excel provides
