    Creating columns based on information in cell

    Hello! I am looking at how to create sperate columns based on data all in one cell. I don't mean just splitting the cells, but taking all the data in a column (e.g. row 1 has oranges and row 2 has bananas) and creating a category for each product in the first row (hopefully the pictures will help). After this is done, I could then have excel output a 'yes' or 'no' (1 or 0) contingent on whether or not this was contained in the row. Thank you!

    Welcome to the forum.

    There are instructions at the top of the page explaining how to attach your sample workbook (yellow banner: HOW TO ATTACH YOUR SAMPLE WORKBOOK). Screenshots are of little practical use as we cannot manipulate them.

    A good sample workbook has just 10-20 rows of representative data that has been desensitised. It also has expected results mocked up, worked examples where required, relevant cells highlighted and a few explanatory notes.

    Something like this formula... copy across and down;

    =--ISNUMBER(SEARCH(B$8,$B2))

    See attached.
