Using Built-In Excel Functions Another way to split data into multiple columns is to use some of Microsoft Excel's functions.

You can split cells into columns in Excel using the "Text to Columns" tool, which is a great way to organize lots of data.

If you have to work with a date stamp in Microsoft Excel that includes date and time, you can use these simple expressions to extract both components, making them easier to work with.

Use either keyboard shortcuts or the NOW and TODAY functions to display the current date and time in Excel and Google Sheets spreadsheets together.
