Separating One Cell Text in Columns with Excel

Many times I asked for punctual information but , in contrast, I received more than I had asked for. For example, I just wanted the name of the applications of a computer, but I got much more in just one column. Therefore, I decided to use one Excel feature named "Text to Columns".

Select the column with the text to split
 
In the window that appears with this option you have to select the characters you are going to use as pattern to separate each row in columns, in this case I selected just "Tab" and got what is shown in the image, as you can appreciate the application descriptions will be in a separated column.

Use to option Convert Text to Columns

Having as a result this.

See the text selected split into columns

Once you get what you wanted you can proceed to removing extra columns.

After this, select "OK" and close the dialog bo...

Turn Horizontal Visio Swimlanes into Vertical Ones

In one ocassion, a friend at work called me because she had a problem with Microsoft Visio , she was trying to draw a process flowchat but using swimlanes, this was not a problem until she realized that it would be better to use vertical swimlanes instead of horizontal ones.    But, when she tried to drag a vertical one it just put together to the previous swimlanes created before.  To avoid creating a new visio document and lost your work just go to 'Cross-Functional Flowchart' ribbon and select 'Orientation' and 'Vertical'.     And it's done, now you can work with vertical swimlanes or if you like it you can turn them back to horizontal ones.
