Have you ever been stuck with a "comma delimited" txt file that is almost impossible to work with?
Working with one GIANT block of text in a txt file is a nightmare, but luckily, it's pretty easy to copy and paste all the data and organize it with ease in Microsoft Excel (or for that matter, Google Sheets). Just follow these steps:
- Copy and paste all of the text into a new excel file
- Highlight the column that contains your list (in this example, column A).
- Go to Data (in the toolbar), then click on "Text to Columns"
- Choose Delimited. Click Next.
- Choose Comma. Click Next.
- Choose General or Text, whichever you prefer.
- Leave Destination as is, or choose another column. Click Finish.
Give it a try and you'll see what I mean - it's pretty easy!
