How to Convert Comma Separated Text to Columns
The Convert Comma to Column tool is designed to solve the common frustration of receiving data in a "flat" format (like CSV) when you need it in a vertical list or column format.
Why use this tool?
- Excel & Sheets: Paste a comma-separated list directly into a column without using the "Text to Columns" wizard.
- SQL Preparation: Quickly turn a comma-separated list of IDs into a format easier to read or edit.
- Data Cleaning: Separate keywords, tags, or email addresses into individual lines for better visibility and sorting.
Supported Delimiters
While the default is a comma (,), you can specify any separator:
- Semicolon (
;): Common for email lists. - Pipe (
|): Often used in data exports. - Tab: Use the "Paste" feature to handle tab-separated values automatically.
