Hi
I am having a problem. I have a spreadsheet with a column of Longitude values like:
A
172828.383E
I want to somehow split the cell into new individual cells so it will be like this:
A B C
17 28 28.383
Any tips?
Thanks in advance

formula in B1
=Left(A1,2)
Formula in C1:
=Mid(A1,3,2)
Formula in D1:
=Mid(A1,5,6)
Then you can copy those down
Then Copy the 3 new Columns, go to A1 and go to Edit|Paste Special and select Values.
Where there is a will there are many ways.

AWWW Many thanks!!!
You are awsome!
If you actually want those to be actual numbers (not text strings) so that you can do further functions with them
then add a -- infront of the the Left() or MID() functions...
e.g. =--Left(A1,2)
Many thanks again!
