Hello,

There are a several different approaches to solving your problem.

One approach is to create two new columns.  With each new column use a column formula with the Word function and then change to a numeric value as follows.

Assuming your first column is called ID then the formula would be implemented as follows:

• Num( Word( 1, :ID, "->" ) )

I have attached a data table with the column split into two new columns.

Alternatively, you could use the text-to-columns add-in.

Cheers,

Stan
