    Reading from slashes [SOLVED]

    Hi,

    I want to be able to have certain cells automatically filled in from a one cell of data containing slashes dividing the different required data in the cells.

    It looks looks like the following for example cell P1= A/B/C/D/E/F

    I want cell A1 to show A and and cell B1 to show B, etc etc.

    How would I able to figure out how to do this?

    Thank you

    In A1, copied across:

    =TRIM(MID(SUBSTITUTE("/"&$P1,"/",REPT(" ",125)),125*COLUMNS($A:A),125))

    TextToColumns should do.
