I'm looking for a way to split comma delimited data (Tags) into separate cells.
new sheet shows the data from Tags being split by the comma and inserted into a new cell by itself having the data aligned for that row.


it would be great if headers were inserted for the cols inserted as shown in new sheet 1

Thanks

Thanks Fluff

I took your test data as you can see below and created a new sheet. Copied your formulas and pasted them

Suggestions?

Excel Facts

What did Pito Salas invent?
Pito Salas, working for Lotus, popularized what would become to be pivot tables. It was released as Lotus Improv in 1989.
That sounds as though your Excel is not fully up to date. If you type =La into a cell do you get the LAMBDA option, or just LARGE?

In that case your Excel is not fully up to date.
Is VBA an option?

Ok, how about
VBA Code:
Sub Danny54()
   Dim Cl As Range
   Dim Txt As String
   Dim Ary As Variant
   
   For Each Cl In Range("N2", Range("N" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp))
      Txt = Txt & "," & Cl.Value
   Next Cl
   Ary = Application.Unique(Split(Mid(Txt, 2), ","), 1)
   Range("U1").Resize(, UBound(Ary)).Value = Ary
End Sub
This will get the values from col N & put them in row 1 starting at U1

Solution
Perfect. I ran the VBA to create the headers, then inserted James's formula to create the line items.

I also did some research on the LAMBDA function. Seems that I'm not at the Excel release level where its available yet. Looking forward to having it.

Thanks so much guys
