Hi

Select the cells and goto Data > Text to Columns > Delemited > Next >
Delemiters: Check "Other" and enter a dot (.) > Next > In Data preview the
first column is selected; Column data format: Do not import column. Repeat
for all columns but the last. > Change destination if you want to keep
original data. > Finish

Hopes this helps

With your data in cell A1 try the below formula

=TRIM(RIGHT(SUBSTITUTE(A1,".",REPT(" ",LEN(A1))),LEN(A1)))

If the number of dots are fixed then try Data>text to columns..and
concatenate to get back what you want. If your requirement is for a fomula
then try..the below which is a combination of the earlier two formulas...

=SUBSTITUTE(MID(A1,FIND(".",A1,FIND(".",A1,FIND(".",A1)+1)+1)+1,LEN(A1))&REPT("~",10),"."&TRIM(RIGHT(SUBSTITUTE(A1,".",REPT("
",LEN(A1))),LEN(A1)))&REPT("~",10),"")
