Hi there,
I'm trying to pull data from Cell A1 and place it into A2,A3,A4,A5,A6, however, the range may differ form anywhere between A2-A10.
I have created the below senario to help make it easy to understand...
Any help would be much appreciated...
Thanks for your time
Regards
SWM
A1= "Computer & Video Games > Categories > Game Hardware > GameCube > Cables & Adapters >"
A2="Computer & Video Games"
A3="Categories"
A4="Game Hardware"
A5="GameCube"
A6="Cables & Adapters"
Hi,
Have you looked at the Data->Text to columns feature? If those are meant to be '>' symbols in your post, then use that as the delimiter. if they are not, then you may want to use the Edit-Replace functionality to convert them to a delimiter that does not appear in your text, then use that to parse the data into columns.

thanks romperstomer... should have thought about that myself... great idea...
Thanks

You can also do it via formula should you wish (I would use TextToColumns though) - eg if your cell is in A1 then in A2 and copied down as far as required:
=TRIM(MID(SUBSTITUTE(">"&TRIM(A$1),">",REPT(" ",100)),ROWS($A$1:$A1)*100+(SUMPRODUCT(LEN($A$1:$A1))-LEN($A$1)),100))
