TEXTSPLIT function

Split text into columns and rows. TEXTSPLIT works in Sheets with the usual arguments and results, on cells and on live data from the tools you connect.

Syntax

=TEXTSPLIT(text, col_delimiter, [row_delimiter], [ignore_empty], [match_mode], [pad_with])
ArgumentUse
textrequired
col_delimiterrequired
row_delimiteroptional
ignore_emptyoptional
match_modeoptional
pad_withoptional

On live data

In Sheets, TEXTSPLIT sits next to live data from a connected tool: =data.orders.sum(total) totals a table, =list.orders(customer) spills a column's distinct values, and a linked table column such as table.orders[Total] is a range any function accepts.
