    Text To Column

    I am frequently using the text to column function. However when I do this
    and then Paste new sets of data into excel it performs the text to column on
    all of my data using the delimiter that I had previously set.

    It does this if I do it in a different worksheet or a new excel file.
    The only work around is to completely close down excel, reopen excel and
    start from there.

    Is there a better way to prevent the text to column function from performing
    on my pasted text?

    Re: Text To Column

    You can do a Data / text to Columns with no delimiters and it won't happen,
    but agreed it's a pain.
