| Formula | Description | Result |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `Split( "Apples, Oranges, Bananas", "," )` | Splits the different fruits apart, based on the comma separator. The split is performed based on only the comma and not the space after it, resulting in a space at the front of " Oranges" and " Bananas". | A single-column table with a `Value` column containing the following values: "Apples", " Oranges", " Bananas" |
| `TrimEnds( Split( "Apples, Oranges, Bananas", "," ) )` | Same as the previous example, but in this case the space is removed by the [**TrimEnds** function](function-trim.md), operating on the single column table that is produced by **Split**. We could have also used the separator **", "** which includes the space after the comma, but that wouldn't have worked properly if there's no space or there are two spaces. | A single-column table with a `Value` column containing the following values: "Apples", "Oranges", "Bananas" |
| `Split( "08/28/17", "/" )` | Splits the date apart, using a forward slash as the separator. | A single-column table with a `Value` column containing the following values: "08", "28", "17"|

### Different delimiters

| Formula | Description | Result |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `Split( "Hello, World", "," )` | Splits the words apart, using a comma as the separator. The second result starts with a space since it is the character immediately following the comma. | A single-column table with a `Value` column containing the following values: "Hello", "  World" |
| `Split( "Hello, World", "o" )` | Splits the string apart, using the character "o" as the separator. | A single-column table with a `Value` column containing the following values: "Hell", ", W", "rld" |
| `Split( "Hello, World", "l" )` | Splits the string apart, using the single character "l" as the separator. Since there were no characters between both the **l**'s in **Hello**, a _blank_ value was returned. | A single-column table with a `Value` column containing the following values: "He", Blank(), "o, Wor", "d" |
| `Split( "Hello, World", "ll" )` | Splits the string apart, using the double character "ll" as the separator. | A single-column table with a `Value` column containing the following values: "He", "o, World" |
| `Split( "Hello, World", "%" )` | Splits the string apart, using the percent sign as the separator. Since this separator doesn't appear in the string, the entire string is returned as one result. | A single-column table with a `Value` column containing the following value: "Hello, World" |
| `Split( "Hello, World", ',' )` | Splits the words apart, using a comma as the separator. The second result starts with a space since it is the character immediately following the comma. | A single-column table with a `Value` column containing the following values: "Hello", "  World" |
| `Split( "Hello, World", 'o' )` | Splits the string apart, using the character "o" as the separator. | A single-column table with a `Value` column containing the following values: "Hell", ", W", "rld" |
| `Split( "Hello, World", 'l' )` | Splits the string apart, using the single character "l" as the separator. Since there were no characters between both the **l**'s in **Hello**, a _blank_ value was returned. | A single-column table with a `Value` column containing the following values: "He", Blank(), "o, Wor", "d" |
| `Split( "Hello, World", 'll' )` | Splits the string apart, using the double character "ll" as the separator. | A single-column table with a `Value` column containing the following values: "He", "o, World" |
| `Split( "Hello, World", '%' )` | Splits the string apart, using the percent sign as the separator. Since this separator doesn't appear in the string, the entire string is returned as one result. | A single-column table with a `Value` column containing the following value: "Hello, World" |
| `Split( "Hello, World", "" )` | Splits the string apart, using an empty string as the separator (zero characters). This will break the string on each character. | A single-column table with a `Value` column containing the following values: "H", "e", "l", "l", "o", ",", " ", "W", "o", "r", "l", "d" |
