    Splitting a column of cells into two

    Dear All helpers

    I simply need to split a cell ( a column of cells ) into two rows keeping the same content. So Cell A1 will become B1/B2, A2 will become B3/B4 and so on.

    Cheers

    Column A already has values in it. So if "A1 becomes..." anything you'll lose the data in column A.
    Don't you mean

    B1/B2 will become A1
    B3/B4 will become A2
    etc

    If so

    in B1
    =INDEX(A$1:A$1000,(ROW()-1)/2+1,1)
    and copy down the column
    Note data will be zeroes in column B once you go beyond 2*(number of rows in column A)

    Ensure you describe your problem clearly, I have little time available to solve these problems and do not appreciate numerous changes to them.

    Hello

    I actually want column A1 to splint into B1/B2, A2 into B3/4 and so on but keeping the very same cell content (word) in each new B cell.
    Thanks

    Or try this in B1:

    =INDEX(A:A,ROWS($A$1:A2)/2)
