    Help with comma separated delimiters (I think)

    I have an excel spreadsheet with 300 addresses that are separated by commas in one column. An example is:

    3405 4TH AVE SOUTH, BIRMINGHAM, AL, 35222-2300

    I would like to copy and paste the different elements of the address in separate columns (without retyping them all!)

    I recollect something called comma separated delimiters but can't figure out how to implement it.

    Any help would be greatly appreaciated.
    Thank you,
    Dave

    Try this formula in B1 and pull it to the right until you see blanks

    =TRIM(MID(SUBSTITUTE($A1,",",REPT(" ",255)),(COLUMNS($A:A)-1)*255+1,255))

    Row\Col
    A
    B
    C
    D
    E

    3405 4TH AVE SOUTH, BIRMINGHAM, AL, 35222-2300 3405 4TH AVE SOUTH BIRMINGHAM AL 35222-2300


    Or use Text to Columns feature in Excel.
