I have an excel file that has a list of items that are wrapped in html code. I would like to split it into 2 groups and move them into 2 different cells and separate the list with a special character (such as >) that I can search and replace later on.
Please see attachment. I have put notes in the excel file

@peiyezhu is there a way I can run your script on my own to make these changes? I am not that familiar with the coding you have done

@Patrick2788 were you able to give this any more thought?

What if we use BS4 to get clean text easily?

According to @Syed_Asad_Abbas , this is possible using BS4 which I believe he's referring to BeautifulSoup 4 which is a Python package. I'll defer to the Python experts on this one.

@Patrick2788 thank you for your help. @Syed_Asad_Abbas , I know nothing about BS4 and Python.
A key thing is that I am able to run this in excel so Im not sure the solution will work for me. Please let me know if I am incorrect
