How to perform excel text to column function?

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 108

I want to paste the data in excel -> select column A -> text to column (fixed width) -> finish

I can only do it by "Press button in window". 

Are there any faster ways to do this?

    After pasting the data to the excel, then press buttons. I think my flow is inefficient, are there any other ways to perform the text to column (fixed width) in excel.
