Great question! Your post is quite informative, and organizing large datasets efficiently in Excel can make a huge difference.
To split long text into different columns, you can use the Text to Columns feature:
1️⃣ Select the column with the long text in Sheet 3
2️⃣ Go to Data > Text to Columns
3️⃣ Choose Delimited if your text is separated by commas, spaces, or other characters
4️⃣ Select the delimiter (e.g., space, comma) and click Finish
5️⃣ Copy the separated data into Sheet 1
Alternatively, if you need more control, Power Query can automate text splitting dynamically.
