From: JJ on
I need help please. How do I go about to seperate data in one cell ex:
A1
1-------2-b0-40810
A2
2-----------1-03-0060

I typically want to seperate cell A1, 1------from 2-b0-40810 and
cell A2, 2------from 1-03-0060.

Tx

1-------2-b0-40810

The hyphen between 1 and the second piece; represent real hyphen or some
other text values..Could you post the actual data or confirm whether the
samples posted are the real ones.

info is not all in line.

The length of data of the second section is not all the same. Some are 9
characters long and others are 11 characters long.

With data in A1

In B1
=LEFT(A1,MIN(SEARCH({0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9},MID(A1,
FIND("-",A1),255)&"0123456789"))+FIND("-",A1)-2)

In C1
=MID(A1,LEN(B1)+1,255)
