split text , insert to columns

[nshanmugaraj]

HI

I have the text in the notepad imported from a file.

DATE FINAL DATE NAME AMT1 AMT2 VALUE

3/31/2003 6/02/2003 THOMAS 4.950 15.00 693.00
3/31/2003 6/02/2003 HARI 7.220 15.00 693.00
3/31/2003 6/02/2003 THOMAS 4.950 15.00 693.00

and so on...

Now from the notepad , i had pasted in the excel column A.
this shows the record in column A.

how can i paste the fields each on a column.

PLEASE HELP

To make this go a little smoother....Replace the space between Final
and Date with an underscore, then:

Select the column of data
Data|Text-to-Columns
Check: Delimited....Click the [Next] button
Delimiter: Space
Click the [Finish] button

Does that help?

Regards,
Ron

From Excel, File/ Open/ files of type "text", then select your txt file, and
then select delimited with space as the delimiter.

dear Ron Coderre, David Biddulph
Thanks for the reply.

macro..

PLS REPLY since the problem is , my manager is opening the files in
excel and on a click of a button , the data should be splitted.
