@Paul Newcome嗨,我也试图解析逗号环保总局的列表rated names down a column. I had a question about your solution, how are you able to use a circular reference and not get an error in the string column?

@ChandlerwI don't have any circular references. Are you able to pinpoint exactly where the circular reference is coming from?

Hello, I am new to smartsheets and have been looking for a way to split text in a row delimited by a "," into rows in a separate column. Unfortunately the sheet that provides a solution for parsing a comma delimited text string down a column is no longer available. Would you be able to share this sheet again@Paul Newcome? Thanks so much. Appreciate your help!

My apologies for the delayed response. Somehow I got unsubscribed from notifications on this post.
The previous solution is actually outdated as I have developed a more reliable and easier to build solution.
Step 1:Create a text/number column called "Number" and manually enter the numbers 1 through whatever to accommodate how large of a list you anticipate having (and adding extra rows for a buffer).
In the remaining steps you will need to replace "[Assigned To]#" with a reference to whatever cell holds your text string.
Step 2:Enter this formula on the first row...
=IFERROR(LEFT([Assigned To]#, FIND(CHAR(10), [Assigned To]#) - 1), [Assigned To]#)
Step 3: Enter this formula on the second row...
=IFERROR(IF(LEN([Assigned To]# + CHAR(10)) - LEN(SUBSTITUTE([Assigned To]#, CHAR(10), "")) >=[email protected], MID([Assigned To]# + CHAR(10), FIND("~", SUBSTITUTE([Assigned To]# + CHAR(10), CHAR(10), "~",[email protected]- 1)) + 1, FIND("~", SUBSTITUTE([Assigned To]# + CHAR(10), CHAR(10), "~",[email protected])) - (FIND("~", SUBSTITUTE([Assigned To]# + CHAR(10), CHAR(10), "~",[email protected]- 1)) + 1)), ""), "")
Step 4:Dragfill the formula from the second row on down to the bottom of your list.

Hi@Paul Newcomeet.al,
This has been super helpful.
My goal is to delimit a "latitude and longitudes" column (singular) into individual latitude and longitude columns (2 columns).
The trouble I am having is that the comma separating my text continues to exist once the cell has been delimited across columns (I'm not trying to go do the columns - which is where this forum differs but I did see in @prathap.krishnashetty69881's post that their commas didn't go away either.
Any support is appreciated.
