    Excel column breakdown

    Hello!
    I was hoping somebody here could help me with certain problem.
    I have database in excel format with over 4000 rows.
    The first column contains a code in a form A1111A. I would like to break it down so that the first column would be A, second 1111, third A.
    Graphically it looks something like this:
    the way it is.png

    and I want it like this:
    the way i want it.png

    Is this possible?

    Thank you SO MUCH!!!!

    Good afternoon Maui_High

    Will this code always be in the format 1 alpha, 4 numeric, 1 alpha?
    If your source date is in row D then formulae like this would be OK :
    =LEFT(D1,1)
    =MID(D1,2,4)
    =RIGHT(D1,1)
