Description atambling 2004-06-22 12:59:34 UTC 
A feature of MS Excel which I have found extremely useful in the past, is Text 
to Columns. It is found in the Excel Data menu. An equivalent of the feature 
does exist in OOo, but it is relatively difficult to use: it is in the Left, 
Middle and Right commands. While these do work, they take longer than the Excel 
feature.
Typically I and my colleagues used this feature for converting database dumps 
to Excel spreadsheet formats. When the data was organised correctly in Excel 
the other features of Excel were employed to change the database info and then 
return it to the application from whence it came. The applications are Rockwell 
Software's RSLogix 500, and Wonderware's InTouch; there are also many other 
applications like them.
