I have a text string for an address that I need splitting.
It's comma separated, and Has 5 fields, Address 1-5.
Problem is is that some addresses are from china so they will have
"Flat Num, Block, Road",City,Provence,address code,China
which is a problem because split will see the first field at "Flat num and
the third as Road".
Is there a way of getting around this? could use tabs (which excel can
produce) but not sure how to split with tab.
Sadly I can't use transfertext because the columns are not headed correctly
and there is data manipulation to do before storing it in the database.
Thanks

I've already answered how to use the Split function with tabs for you.
