Hello,
I have a cell containing the following information:

"AM,1,10|LA,1,5|VU,1,5"

The end product i need is one column containg AM (so after" and before , ) one column containing LA (so between | | ) one column containing VU (after | and before ")
I need this to be a formula as the codes used in the example with change and some of the codes are only 1 letter.
Any help would be hugely appreciated.
Hope that made sense

Whats the difference between CONCAT and CONCATENATE?
The newer CONCAT function can reference a range of cells. =CONCATENATE(A1,A2,A3,A4,A5) becomes =CONCAT(A1:A5)
use Power Query with Split (Before, After or Between) delimiter
Thanks for the swift reply - i would prefer a formula so it can stay in the spreadsheet and will auto updated when new data is input

I cant find it - do you know the formula(s) that would be needed?

Please try at B1:D1
=TRIM(LEFT(SUBSTITUTE(MID(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE($A1,"""",),"|",REPT(" ",30)),COLUMNS($B1:B1)*30-29,30),",",REPT(" ",30)),30))

Thanks - I have put that formula in the cell next to the data and it has returned AM so the first part. Do i need to use similar formulas in the adjacent columns to get the middle and last letters?
