How to Split Columns in Desktop Excel (Text to Columns)

If you are working in desktop Microsoft Excel without our web tool:

  1. Select the column containing the data you want to split (e.g. Column A with "Full Names").
  2. Make sure there is at least one blank empty column to the right, otherwise Excel will overwrite existing data.
  3. Go to the Data tab on the Excel ribbon and click Text to Columns.
  4. Select Delimited and click Next.
  5. Check the box for your delimiter (e.g. Space for names or Comma for addresses).
  6. Click Finish. Excel splits the text across adjacent columns.

Modern Formula Method: TEXTSPLIT (Excel 365)

If you have Microsoft 365, you can use the dynamic array function =TEXTSPLIT(A2, " ") to automatically spill results into adjacent cells without opening wizards.
