How to Split Cells Using Flash Fill in Excel
Excel cell splitting using basic patterns is fairly simple to utilize. It can run in two possible ways:
- In the background
- Triggered manually by the user
Background execution
In this, Excel automatically offers ideas after trying to identify trends in the text.
1. Type the text element we want to extract in the first row of the first column (with the source cells on the left). Enter the portion of the text from the second cell that we wish to extract. Flash Fill now takes action and offers suggestions.
2. To accept the suggested fill, press the Tab or Enter key
Manual Execution
Now that we’ve seen how the Flash fill auto-suggests the data, let’s have a look at the manual approach as well.
1. In any single row, type the text element that has to be extracted. In this particular example (Last name)
2. Click Home > Fill (dropdown) > Flash Fill, and choose the cells in the range that should have values entered.
