Hi Mangesh,
I've read your other replies, and as to why you haven't received a formula
method -- most people don't want to take the trouble on a volunteer basis to
provide a more complex or difficult solution to a given problem when simple
solutions exist. Also in business, the simplest solution is the best value.
But I understand that in learning all aspects of a program, sometimes the
exercise of solving a problem in various ways is useful.
I will provide a formula solution for you. Although it could be solved
several ways, I prefer using an array formula, since it can be written in such
a way that it can handle a string of text with any number of commas, whereas
non-array solutions would be limited to a set maximum. However, even with the
array solution, and even though the array will contain all of the parts of the
text string, you will only see on your spreadsheet as many parts as there are
cells in the area you place the array formula (there are ways to use array
formulas with "too large of arrays" to display on your spreadsheet ,as part of
other formulas, that are useful; for example extracting certain values matching
a condition, or summarizing the data (in your data, you might want to know how
many "Mumbai"s there are, how many "32145"s, etc.), without actually displaying
in multiple columns all the split data.
· Select any cell on row 2 of your spreadsheet, then create the
following defined names using the Name Manager (formulas tab in Excel 2007+).
I recommend making them Sheet-level names rather than the default
Workbook-level.
1. Name
=$A2
2. _Name.Terminated
=Name&","
3. _Name.ColumnIdx
=TRANSPOSE(ROW(INDIRECT("1:"&LEN(_Name.Terminated)-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(_Name.Terminated,",","")))))
4. _Name.StartPositions
=IF(Name.ColumnIdx>1,FIND(CHAR(1),SUBSTITUTE(Name,",",CHAR(1),_Name.ColumnIdx-1)))+1
5. _Name.StopPositions
=FIND(CHAR(1),SUBSTITUTE(_Name.Terminated,",",CHAR(1),_Name.ColumnIdx))-1
6. Name.Columns
=MID(Name,_Name.StartPositions,_Name.StopPositions-_Name.StartPositions+1)
The purpose of using the defined names is to simplify the formula by breaking
it into steps. Insofar as the steps are referred to more than once in the
formula, it should make the formula faster to evaluate too. Name.Columns is
the culmination of our calculation and results in an array containing each
comma-separated value from column A, divided into separate columns.
· To display the column-separated values on your spreadsheet, enter
the following formula in B2:
=Name.Columns
· Then highlight from B2 to the furthest column on row 2 needed to
display the maximum number of values ever expected. For a maximum of 3 values,
highlight B2:D2, or for maximum of 10, B2:K2, etc.
· Then hit F2 (edit cell) and Ctrl-Shift-Enter (confirm array
formula). This confirms a multi-cell array formula over the selected cells.
· Copy the array-entered range from row 2 (e.g. B2:D2) to every other
row in your table.
Hope this is of interest,
Asa
