Hi, I have been heavily researching on how to split information in one cell and have it put into columns using vba.
Any codes I found online either needed me to run the macro every time or they didn't work. I would like it to run every time data is added on this particular sheet.
I have a very basic understanding of vba and simply do not know how to write the coding.

Here are some images showing what I want to achieve.

from these images you can see that I need to split information from column A across columns B - H.
I would like the information to be split straight away as soon as the information comes into column A. I hope this can be done.

Just to make you aware, I also have a simple code for this worksheet that simply move on to the next cell automatically after the information is scanned in using the barcode scanner.

Here is an image of the code used for moving to the next cell.

If someone could help me with this issue it would be much appreciated.
Many thanks for your help in advance!
 

Excel Facts

How can you turn a range sideways?
Copy the range. Select a blank cell. Right-click, Paste Special, then choose Transpose.
You can test following
VBA Code:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
' In Sheet Module
Dim ChangedCell As Range
Set ChangedCell = Range(Target.Address)
Application.Run ("TextinCols")
'Select the next cell
ChangedCell.Offset(1, 0).Select
End Sub

Sub TextinCols()
' In Standard Module - Rick's macro
 ActiveCell.TextToColumns ActiveCell.Offset(, 1), xlDelimited, , True, False, False, False, True, False
End Sub
SUCCESS!!!!

Thank you very much for your help!
Today is the third day of me trying to search for a solution for this, so I thank you!
And I also thank anyone else who has took the time to try and come up with a solution! It's amazing how you all know so much about this software.

Thanks to all.
