I'm trying to retrieve some info from one column and put it in another. I have a column that has a bunch of information in it called 'Route'. I don't need to show all of that information. Instead I need divide that single column into two seperate columns called 'Sender' and 'Receiver'. How do I divide this information up into these two columns. I know of methods called charindex and patindex. I need to do something like that but instead of returning the position of the info, to just return the selected info. Ex) I have a column named Route....with info in it similar to 'UPS NS Ground' How do I create a second column called 'Delivery' and pull only the 'NS' out of the Route column and put it into the 'Reciever' column? Similarly how would I pull just the UPS part out of Route and put it into 'Sender'?
