parsing a cell using |

[exceluser2]

I have many cells with values like this

43543|F|ib315|RAS|98B8016BB4B12|stamp

I need to parse each cell using | and place the parsed values into new cells for each row while still maintaing the unparsed cell. Any help is appreciated.

If these are in column A, then copy this to column B to retain the
original data. Then highlight column B and do Data | Text-to-columns
and specify | as the delimiter.

Hope this helps.

I would highlight the data and use Data>Text to columns... and use the |
character as the 'other' delimiter. Then when you have parsed it all, use a
helper column to put the original back together with

=A1&"|"&B1&"|"&C1...etc

There's really *no* need to "put the original back together", since TTC has
an option to separate the data *without* touching (changing) the original
data.

In the 3rd step of the TTC wizard, just change the destination column
address from the default (original data location) to any *other* empty
column.

Of course...you'll notice I like re-inventing a wheel from time to time ;-)
