Excel functions

The most important functions in Excel are explained on this page, which should make it easier for you to create and edit the Excel list.
Separate cell contents from each other:
It happens that certain data has been written together in one field. A typical example is the combination of city and postal code. However, this data can be separated again using Excel.
However, before you can separate data, you must first insert new columns.
(Note that this step must be carried out for every function explained here)
First mark the column and then click on it with the left mouse button. Now select in the menu that opens Insert columns .

insert_column
Enter the separation formula - up to spaces

The separation is based on the space. Now click in the desired cell. Enter the following formula here: =LEFT( A1;SEARCH(" "; A1;1)-1)
This function outputs the entire text up to the first space. (Important: Begin each formula with =)
trennen

Enter the separating formula – starting with spaces

through the function =RIGHT(A4;LENGTH(K4)-SEARCH(" ";K4;1)) the entire text starting with the space is now output.
separate_right

Apply function to multiple contacts

To adopt this function for all contacts, first click in the cell. Now move the mouse button to the lower right corner of the cell to the position where the black arrow button of the mouse turns into a black cross. Now click on it with the mouse button and, while holding down the mouse button, drag the cell to the desired position.
