Final answer:
To convert text to columns in Excel, use the Text to Columns Wizard. Select the range of cells containing the text, choose the delimiters, and follow the prompts to complete the conversion.
Step-by-step explanation:
To convert text to columns using the Text to Columns Wizard, follow these steps:
- Select the range of cells that contain the text you want to convert.
- Go to the 'Data' tab in the Excel ribbon and click on the 'Text to Columns' button.
- In the Text to Columns Wizard, choose the delimiters (such as comma, space, or tab) that you want to use to split the text into separate columns.
- Follow the prompts in the wizard to specify additional settings, such as the data format for each column.
- Click on 'Finish' to complete the conversion.
For example, if you have a column of names written as 'First Name, Last Name', you can use the Text to Columns Wizard to split them into two separate columns.
