    hi lgchandana. 2 ways. formula:
    =LEFT(A1,122)

    another is to select the data (say A1:A10), go to Data Tab -> Text to columns -> Fixed Width -> Next -> scroll to the 122 mark & click on it to break the line -> Finish. delete column B.

    Thanks, if you have clicked on the * and added our rep.

    @bebishiryo: you can choose not to import the column after the split, so you don't need to delete column B.

    @TMShucks:
    yes that's an option but:
    Do not import
    1. Press Next
    2. select the column you dont want to import.
    3. click on "Do not import"
    4. Finish

    Deleting
    1. click Finish
    2. select column B
    3. Delete

    roughly the same

    Fair enough, but there may already be data in column B.
