Hi,

I have two columns with 9 or more single digits numbers that are text. The issue with simple text to columns is that if any of the 9 numbers is a double digit number it looks like this in the cell...

Q​
R​
0001010(11)0400100000
0000001000000000200
101010100000000(10)000


I want to extract each individual number in column Q to separate columns; same with column R. to a separate column to study the totals, but have an issue every time it runs into the odd ball double digit number which is always like this (10)

If it helps, these are line scores from baseball games, but have a number of them with double digit scoring in a single inning.
any ideas on how to extract each number including the double digit numbers?

Thanks, Mike in Cali...

I use Excel 365 for both Mac and PC. My primary computer is PC due to Excel having more options. How do I update profile to show version?

Another option where TEXT in combination with REPT is key

Both options worked perfectly! Awesome. This also worked for linescores that had more than 9 innings.

Thank you for enlightening me on changing my profile so the gurus can know what to use for formulas. Eye opening. Since I use both Mac and PC, I should have known because the MAC is limited, at times, with Excel formulas when it comes to the advanced stuff.

As does the other one as you can see from rows 2 and 5 of the sample mini sheet. ;)
Anyway you have choice. :) (edit: perhaps not - see next post)

BTW, thanks for updating your profile. (y)
