    'text to columns' or 'split' function for line of text without space, comma, etc?

    Can 'text to columns' or 'split' function be applied to a cell containing a line of alphabets that has nothing to separate each alphabet?

    For example, ABCDEFGHIJ (although not in this order) instead of A B C D E F G H I J

    I tried but didn't work

    Or if there's a way to separate the alphabets into rows, that's good, too.

    affj, how about using the Fixed width option in Text to Columns? You'll need to click once between each letter, but they'll then all be separated.

    Hope this helps.
    Brendan.

    Thank you very much!
    Do you happen to know a code that can split a number sequence every 2 numbers, too?:

    from; 6748398756364767472829

    to; 67 48 39 87 56 36 47 67 47 28 29
