TEXTSPLIT function - Zoho Sheet - Help Guide

TEXTSPLIT

Splits the given text string by columns and rows based on the specified delimiter.
 
Syntax
 
TEXTSPLIT(text; col_delimiter; [row_delimiter]; [ignore_empty]; [mode]; [fill_with])
text: The text string given as input. Eg., A2
col_delimiter: The text by which the given string is split across the adjacent columns. Eg., "@"
row_delimiter: The text by which the given string is split to the rows below. Eg., ";"
ignore_empty: Specifies whether to create an empty cell when two consecutive delimiters are present. Defaults to TRUE if omitted.
TRUE - Ignores the empty value and does not create empty cells
FALSE - Creates empty cells when two or more delimiters are present consecutively in the given string.
mode: Specifies whether the search must be case-sensitive. Defaults to 0 if omitted.
0 - Case sensitive
1 - Case insensitive
fill_with: A value to use when one or more text values are missing in the result. Defaults to #N/A if omitted. Eg., "-"
 
Remarks
  • Multiple delimiters can also be used in the function in the form of an array. For example, =TEXTSPLIT(A1:A5; {"-";","}) splits the string by both hyphen (-) and comma (,).
