TEXTSPLIT Function Explained with All Argument Columns, Rows, if empty, Mode & Pad

In this video you will learn about how to use:
TEXTSPLIT Function which looks for any instance of a specified delimiter in a cell and then spills a range for each text group between those delimiters. What's a delimiter? It's basically a symbol or punctuation that is used to separate words or text groups. The most common delimiters are commas and spaces.
The TEXTSPLIT function is really easy to use. There are only two arguments that you need to identify. The first is the text that you want to split. The second is the column delimiter (col_delimiter). In our simple example, I've used the cell in column A as the text, and a space (“”) as the delimiter.

Because this is a dynamic array function, it will separate the text wherever it detects a space and spill each of those text groups into its own column. In our example, there are only two groups of text (first name and last name), so it returns two columns. You can drag the fill handle down from the first cell to the cells below to copy down the formula/results.

Textsplit separates text into columns
This fast and easy function is awesome, but one of its biggest limitations is that it can't be used with Excel Tables. That's because Excel Tables can' handle spill ranges. So when working with Excel Tables, a better option is to use TEXTBEFORE and TEXTAFTER.
