grouping digits in differents columns

You could use the Split() function ... let me dig up an example.

Use MID function:

=MID(A1,1,13)
=MID(A1,14,13)
=MID(A1,27,13)
=MID(A1,40,13)

Import that data into column A and then run this macro with the worksheet active:

Public Sub SplitData()

   Dim Cell As Range
   
   For Each Cell In Intersect(UsedRange, [A:A]).Cells
      Cell.Offset(0, 1).Resize(1, 4).NumberFormat = "@"
      Cell.Offset(0, 1) = Mid(Cell, 1, 13)
      Cell.Offset(0, 2) = Mid(Cell, 14, 13)
      Cell.Offset(0, 3) = Mid(Cell, 27, 13)
      Cell.Offset(0, 4) = Mid(Cell, 40, 13)
   Next Cell
   [A:A].Delete

End Sub

which database system are you using?

you would normally use the SUBSTRING function (or SUBSTR in some dialects)

select
 substring(yourcolumn,1,13) as part1,
 substring(yourcolumn,14,13) as part2,
 substring(yourcolumn,27,13) as part3,
 substring(yourcolumn,40,13) as part4

Lowfatspread: this is a file in MSexcel

Public Sub SplitData()

   Dim Cell As Range
   
   For Each Cell In Intersect(ActiveSheet.UsedRange, ActiveSheet.[A:A]).Cells
      Cell.Offset(0, 1).Resize(1, 4).NumberFormat = "@"
      Cell.Offset(0, 1) = Mid(Cell, 1, 13)
      Cell.Offset(0, 2) = Mid(Cell, 14, 13)
      Cell.Offset(0, 3) = Mid(Cell, 27, 13)
      Cell.Offset(0, 4) = Mid(Cell, 40, 13)
   Next Cell
   ActiveSheet.[A:A].Delete

End Sub

I'm still working on that Join example, lol. No ... just kidding ... you guys are on it :-)

Thanks Zorvek

the perfect solution is
=mid(A$1,b1...bn,13)  
but the problem is that the copdebars.txt is very very long, and the excel have problems with it.
Maybe some scrit in vbs or php?
