Excel sorts text into columns

foreword

Column splitting in Excel is a commonly used data processing tool, which can split the contents of cells and assign them to corresponding columns according to the specified separator. Through this operation, a column of data can be split into multiple independent data items, thereby facilitating subsequent statistical analysis and processing. For example, when processing email addresses, the user name and domain name of the email can be split into two columns by column operation; when processing phone numbers, information such as area code, phone number, and extension number can be split into different columns column. The Excel column function is very practical, which can greatly improve the efficiency of data processing and work efficiency.
