In cell a1 I have a concatenate formula with this result 1-2-10-12

I would like to break that out to col b ,col c, col d and col e showing them as separate individual numbers
b1=1 c1=2 d1=10 and e1 =12

at times these numbers will change so I want to accommodate a two digit or one digit scenario like if this 20-3-8-1 occurs.

Is there a left mid right formula to do this

Thanks everbody :)

Hi,

Use B1 formula if you want the results converted to Real numbers.

Use B9 formula if you may have Leading zeros that you want preserved, result is Text.

Either formula copied across:
