Split Text To Columns, Remove Duplicates in Google Sheets

Split text to columns and removing duplicates are two common tasks in Google Sheets. 

Here's how to perform each of these tasks:

1. Split text to columns:

• Select the column that contains the text that you want to split.
• Go to "Data" > "Split text to columns".
• In the "Split text to columns" dialog box, specify the delimiter that separates the text into separate columns. For example, if the text is separated by commas, you would select "Comma".
• Click "Split".

The text in the selected column will be split into separate columns, based on the specified delimiter.

2. Remove duplicates:

• Select the range of cells that you want to remove duplicates from.
• Go to "Data" > "Remove duplicates".
• In the "Remove duplicates" dialog box, select the columns that you want to use to identify duplicates.
• Click "Remove duplicates".

Google Sheets will remove any duplicate values from the selected range of cells, based on the columns that you specified.

By using these features in Google Sheets, you can quickly and easily manipulate your data and maintain the accuracy of your spreadsheets. Whether you're splitting text into separate columns or removing duplicate values, these tools can help you to streamline your workflow and save time.
