    Question Extracting partial cell data to another cell

    I have tried to search this, maybe I wasn't searching the correct syntax.
    What I am trying to accomplish is this:

    I had to copy data from a text file that has 926 lines of the same format:
    Example:
    AAAAAAxxxYYYYYYYYYYYYzz
    When I pasted this in to Excel, it inherently put all of this in the same cell.

    What I need to happen is that the following-

    AAAAAA goes into one cell, xxx goes in the following column, same row, YYYYYYYYYYYY, in the following and so on.

    I have attached a sample spreadsheet.

    Thank you in advance for any help!!

    Hi and welcome to the board

    Is there a reason why you posted an XL question in an Outlook Forum?

    Most likely because I was taking and typing at the same time and was not paying attention!! Sorry about that :-)
