Break up strings into separate cells

[al007]

What code do I need to split Id Numbers & characters in separate cells?
eg
V080779382799E
how can I have V in a separate cell, 0 in cell next to it, 8 in next
cell to the right and so on

Assuming you've got a whole table of these, can you use Data > Text To
Columns, indicate that each column is a fixed width, and create breaks after
each character?
Otherwise, you might use the MID and COLUMN functions. If your data starts
in A1, then in B1: =MID($A1,COLUMN()-1,1). Copy that formula across to as
many columns as you need. (You might also check that you haven't passed the
input cell's length: =if(column()>len($a1),mid($a1,column()-1,1),"")

You can use Data, Text to Columns;
Fixed Length
Click behind each of your characters;
Done.

HOW CAN I LOOP IN THE CELL TO GET THE NUMBERS OF CHARACTERS & GET A
MACRO TO DO IT IN ONE GO INSTEAD OF CLICKING

You can do it in a loop, but it'll be quicker/easier to use Data|Text to
columns.

Try recording a macro when you select the range and do the data|text to columns.

You're code will be pretty much done.

If you need to tweak it, post back with what you have.

Ps. A lot of people (me included) find all caps very difficult to read. If you
have to post without upper/lower, can you use all lower case?
