Before you can do this exercise, you'll need to download and unzip this file (if you have any problems doing this, click here for help).

You need a minimum screen resolution of about 700 pixels width to see our exercises. This is because they contain diagrams and tables which would not be viewable easily on a mobile phone or small laptop. Please use a larger tablet, notebook or desktop computer, or change your screen resolution settings.

Open the file contained within the folder name shown above.

Most of the information is currently contained within a single cell in column B:

Text Functions

We want to split the long text from column B out into separate columns

In cell D4, use Excel text functions to display only the date of each film.  Copy this down to the rest of the column.

In cell E4, use Excel text functions to only display the text Directed by and the name of each director.  Copy this down to the rest of the column.

In cell F4, use Excel text functions to remove the words Directed by from the text in cell E4, to only show the director's name.  Copy this down to the rest of the column.

In Column B, change some of the dates and directors' names to check that your formulae are working.
