Hello everyone,
I would like to solve the following in Visual Basic: In column A, there are two numbers one below the other (with a line break). I want to create a copy of them. Only the top number should be in column C, and only the bottom number should be in column D. It's IMPORTANT that the numbers can have different lengths (for example, 2, 31, 153, etc.) and they are not always the same length.
Thanks for helping!

Press Ctrl+` to show all formulas. Press it again to toggle back to numbers. The grave accent is often under the tilde on US keyboards.
Then maybe like below?

Sheet6
Cell Formulas
RangeFormula
C1C1=LEFT(A1,FIND(CHAR(10),A1)-1)
D1D1=MID(A1,FIND(CHAR(10),A1)+1,99)
C3C3=TEXTBEFORE(A3,CHAR(10))
D3D3=TEXTAFTER(A3,CHAR(10))

Change references as and where required.
Code:
Sub Try()
Dim i As Long
    For i = 1 To Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row
        Cells(i, 1).Offset(, 2).Resize(, 2).Value = Split(Cells(i, 1), Chr(10))
    Next i
End Sub

Due to the versions and language differences, Visual Basic would be better. These don't work for me. Although the Excel is old.

There's no reason why that formula shouldn't work. I have a very old version of Excel and it works perfectly. Which version of Excel are you using? Did you check to make sure that you copied & pasted the formula correctly? You should update your forum profile to display the version of Excel you're using.

If you want the best of both worlds, half Post#4 (using formulae) and half Post#5 (using macro) you can try this.
Code:
Sub With_Formula()
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
With Range("A1:A" & Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row)
    .Offset(, 2).Formula = "=Left(RC[-2], Find(CHAR(10), RC[-2])-1)"
    .Offset(, 3).Formula = "=Mid(RC[-3], Find(CHAR(10), RC[-3])+1, 99)"
    .Offset(, 2).Resize(, 2).Value = .Offset(, 2).Resize(, 2).Value
End With
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub

This solution is good, thank you very much!

Thank you very much, I can use this better for the task! Everything works fine! Thank you so much to you and everyone!
