I have a column with cells that look like this:

95.68#88
63.71#999
99.84#144

Is it possible to replicate text to columns, but as a formula? Using the # as the delimiter, then having the two values split into two columns?

Essentially, I just want to paste the data, then have a formula automatically split the numbers into two columns.

Thanks!

There are 2.
Before Delimiter
Excel Formula:
=NUMBERVALUE(TEXTBEFORE($A2,"#"))

After Delimiter
Excel Formula:
=NUMBERVALUE(TEXTAFTER($A2,"#"))

Just amazing how many different ways there are to do things in Excel!

I had some cells that only contained a dash in this range, and I needed to add an error condition in for that, which I got working with the solution from Sergius, so my two formulas are:

Excel Formula:
=IFERROR(MID(I2,1,SEARCH("#",I2)-1),"-")

Excel Formula:
=IFERROR(MID(I2,SEARCH("#",I2)+1,100),"-")

Big thank you to you all!
