Dear Asif,

Kindly let me know which version of MS Office you are using. In MS Office 2003, there is an option under the "Data" menu called "Text to Columns". With this, you can split a column by selecting it and then using the above option.

    Dear All,

    Thank you very much for your support and guidance. Please find enclosed a sample of data. What I need now is:

    1. I want only the first name separated from the full name (you can note that the first name ending is identified by a space or a capital letter).
    2. I want only the 10 digits of mobile numbers. For example, presently I have a series like 91-99677298848, and I want it to be 9967298848.

    I am using MS 2007 version.

    Thanks in Advance.
    Regards,

    From India, Mumbai
