    text to excel columns

    Hope I word this correctly.

    When I copy text from words to excel. How do I filter(delete) commas, periods and/or special characters?
    I did this before just don't remember, something with delimiter maybe?

    Ex:
    "jack", "jill", "johnny", "joe", "jaque",

    Jack would go on A1, Jill would go on A2 and so on without the comma's or quotes.

    Start with Data.Text-to-columns...follow the prompts.


    Is that something you can work with?

    Re: text to excel columns

    Yep! that's what I'm looking for. Ahhhh delimited, not delimiter.

    Now only if I can open the attachment from poster helping me yesterday question which would continue from this question.

    Now I have to work on a macro looking for names that exist more than 2. 2 is ok, >2 is flagged.

    Thanks a lot.
