  • Description:
    Hi there,

    I've got a spreadsheet with sentences in it (one per row), and I need these sentences to be split as follows:
    - copy the entire sentence (cell-content) into a new cell
    - take the last word off the sentence and copy that new shorter sentence into the cell below the previous cell
    - continue doing so until there's only the first word left
    - then also copy the 2nd and 3rd word into individual cells below the previous ones.
    - then go to the next sentence and keep adding the sentences into the cells in the same output column.

    EXAMPLE:
    INPUT:
    (cell A1): "the lazy brown fox"
    (cell A2): "jumps over the fence"
    (cell A3): etc, simple sentences, the words separated by spaces.

    Output:
    B1: "the lazy brown fox"
    B2: "the lazy brown"
    B3: "the lazy"
    B4: "the"
    B5: "lazy" (these 2 cases are special cases: I want the 2nd and 3rd word individually, the previous lot was just making the sentence shorter and shorter. Note: if the sentence is only 1 or 2 words long, then obviously you cannot copy the 2nd or 3rd word!)
    B6: "brown"
    B7: "jumps over the fence"
    B8: "jumps over the"
    B9: "jumps over"
    B10: "jumps"
    B11: "over"
    B12: "the"
    etc etc etc
    I have used column B as the output, but this is NOT mandatory, this could be a separate sheet inside the spreadsheet, whatever works easiest

    The important thing is that after processing I have ONE column
    where I have all variations (from full sentence, down to just the first word + 2nd and 3rd word)

    Cheers

    V.
