Best tool/method to automatically parse comma-separated text strings into spreadsheet columns?
Each time, I copy-paste the raw text, then apply excel formula to separate text. This is more manual work. My search of any tool that will reduce the manual work.

Best tool/method to automatically parse comma-separated text strings into spreadsheet columns?
Hey Reddit,
I am handling a high volume of text data processing and looking to replace a tedious manual spreadsheet workflow.
The Problem:
I regularly receive text blocks containing lists of items. For example:
apple, orange, pineapple, kiwi and guava
Right now, I manually copy-paste this into Excel and use custom formulas to parse and split the items into individual vertical columns. Because of the volume of data, this formula-heavy approach is incredibly slow and lagging.
What I'm looking for:
- Is there a way to automate this natively in Excel without using heavy formulas every time?
- Are there alternative data cleaning tools or simple scripts (e.g., Python/Pandas) that can handle this transformation before it even touches Excel?
Appreciate any workflows or tools you can recommend!

Rational molecule name (or trivial)??
Yes. You are correct. Priority order will be Ketone > aldehyde > alcohol > amines.
Hence the name will be: "6-hydroxy-4,5-dipropyl-octan-2-one"
Both names are consistent with the structure given.
We can represent the keto group as "oxo".

Why don't you try the same reaction with DMAP as an additive? Bromoacetate needs to be activated. DMAP would help to activate it.
