how to split cells in google sheets

There are two common ways to split cells in Google Sheets:

1. Using the "Split text to columns" option:
   • Select the cell or range of cells containing the text to split.
   • Go to the Data menu at the top and choose "Split text to columns."
   • A separator box will appear; select the delimiter to split by (e.g., space, comma) or let Google Sheets detect it automatically.
   • The selected cells will be split into separate columns using the chosen delimiter.
2. Using the SPLIT() function:
   • Use the formula =SPLIT(cell, "delimiter") where "cell" is the cell with text to be split and "delimiter" is the character to split on (e.g., space " ", comma ",").
   • This function outputs the split parts into adjacent columns.
   • For multiple rows, use ARRAYFORMULA with SPLIT like =ARRAYFORMULA(SPLIT(range, "delimiter")) to apply the split across the range.

These methods allow splitting cells into multiple columns based on text delimiters, which is helpful for sorting and organizing data more efficiently.
