I don't understand.You wanted to split a string into columns using "-" as the 
delimiter.What does that have to do with "one character, not three"?
how does that apply? Paul-----------------------------------------

Excel 2007, but it only allows for one character not three

If it is Excel 2007 or later, there is a text-to-columns option in the  "Data" 
tab.
If you're looking for a VBA function, you should be able to record a macro 
while you utilize this icon.
If you're actually looking for an Excel FORMULA as you requested, you're not 
going to find it.
Cell formulas return values to themselves, NOT to other cells.That is, you 
cannot use a formula in cell A1 to MODIFY the value in cell A2.

Hello,

I would be very grateful if someone could provide a formula for dividing text 
to columns using " - " as a deliminator.

Many Thanks,
Andrew
