Question : Splitting Comma Separated Values inline

I'm back to trying to extract some values from legacy columns. Basically I need the values so I can do a join on another table.

I can either extract them inline using Substring or create a function which will return a specific column of a CSV.

an example of my values:

GE3JM5104,VL,1

where I am looking at getting out:

GE3JM5104

and then another seperate value:

084670-01-03,Q,PJ,186042,1

From this I need to extract

084670-01-0
Q
1

Any help would be great.


Answer : Splitting Comma Separated Values inline

I'm sure that you explained to them some problems in the previous spreadsheet methods,
there can be:
1- data redundancy
users can enter one data many times
2- there isn't any security for don't losting data
users can delete data suddenly
3- cuncurrecy with working is impossible
when two users download spreadsheet and change it , how this data can be merged?
4- there isn't any access roles there
maybe some data shouldn't to be show to special users, this can not be done with spreadsheet
and many other acceptable reasons, I think the first reason mere can be acceptable to move to web site method.
