excel extract each word from a cell and store into separate columns

I have a cell which contains data like:
45677|abc|top|IG|pro|sjkdjs|cdf
and i want to extract each one of them into separate columns, is there an excel function that can do this or ill have to use pandas.

Use Data > Text to Columns and set the delimiter to |.
Select the cell or column that contains the text you want to split.
Select Data > Text to Columns.
In the Convert Text to Columns Wizard, select Delimited > Next.
Set the Delimiter to |.
You can see a preview of your data in the Data preview window.
Select Next.
Select the Destination in your worksheet which is where you want the
split data to appear.
Select Finish.

For one row you write how you want it to be.
just like given in above picture.
And then
Select the cell B1
Press CNTRL + E
Follow above 2 steps for each of cell i.e. C1,D1,E1,F1,G1 and H1 and you'll get all the automatically filled with delimiter. Result would be like below img:

Extract value within only first set of parenthesis | Excel

Essentially:
I have a cell value that looks like this:
Hello - (Whats Up (HowAreYou))
I need to extract the value of what is inside the outside parenthesis:
Whats Up (HowAreYou)
How can this formula be modified to accommodate this requirement:
=MID(C11,SEARCH("(",C11)+1,SEARCH(")",C11)-SEARCH("(",C11)-1)

use FILTERXML:
=FILTERXML("<a>"&SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(A1,"(","<b>",1),")","</b>",LEN(A1)-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(A1,")","")))&"</a>","//b")
Or:
=MID(REPLACE(A1,FIND("#",SUBSTITUTE(A1,")","#",LEN(A1)-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(A1,")","")))),999,""),FIND("(",A1)+1,999)

Try:
=MID(A1,SEARCH("(",A1)+1,SEARCH("#",SUBSTITUTE(A1,")","#",LEN(A1)-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(A1,")",""))))-SEARCH("(",A1)-1)

Amongst the other good answers, you could alternatively try:
=REPLACE(LEFT(A1,MATCH(2,1/(MID(A1,SEQUENCE(LEN(A1)),1)=")"))-1),1,FIND("(",A1),)
Or, without Excel 365:
=REPLACE(LEFT(A1,MATCH(2,1/(MID(A1,ROW(A$1:INDEX(A:A,LEN(A1))),1)=")"))-1),1,FIND("(",A1),)
Note: This last formula requires you to enter as array formula through Ctrl+Shift+Enter

You can also use "Text To Column" function. You can find it in data tab in data tools group.
Select the cell or column that contains the text you want to split.
Select Data > Text to Columns.
In the Convert Text to Columns Wizard, select Delimited > Next.
Select the Delimiters "space" and "other" << put "-" in the text box next to "other" > Next.
Slect the location where you want that data and click finish.
Note: by this way you will end up with double bracket at the end that you can fix with replace function. Selecd your data and click find and replace. Put )) in find box and ) in replace window, click replace all.
Formula:
Assuming your data is in cell A1
Hello - (Whats Up (HowAreYou))
= RIGHT(SUBSTITUTE(A1, "))", ")", 1), LEN(SUBSTITUTE(A1, "))", ")", 1)) - SEARCH(" - ", SUBSTITUTE(A1, "))", ")", 1))

How to sumif when the range contains comma delimited values

FYI Tb1 is on the left and Tb2 is on the right
My problem: I want to sumif on the range that contains comma delimited values. Tb2 will be my final output.
I have tried wildcard but it only worked on string character. Can anyone help?
Thanks in advance

If your data looks like:
You can use PowerQuery for this
Select your data > Data Tab > Get & Transform > Insert from Table/Range > Choose with headers
In PQ select ID column > Transform Tab > Split column > By delimiter > Choose by comma > Advanced settings > Split to rows and no quotes > Confirm
Keep ID column selected > Transform Tab > Group by > Group by ID > Choose SUM as operation on column Total (and pick a new column name if you want).
Exit PQ and confirm to save your changes.

Assume your Criteria range "ID" put in D2:D5
Result "Total" in E2, copied down :
=SUMPRODUCT(ISNUMBER(FIND(D2,$A$2:$A$6))*$B$2:$B$6)

Need formula to split the cell

I have (500+rows 20+ columns) sheet and some cells having data as shown below:

To extract the text into columns do something like this
Enter this formula to extract first line
=LEFT(A1, SEARCH(CHAR(10),A1,1)-1)
to extract middle line
=MID(A1, SEARCH(CHAR(10),A1) + 1, SEARCH(CHAR(10),A1,SEARCH(CHAR(10),A1)+1) - SEARCH(CHAR(10),A1) - 1)
to extract last line
=RIGHT(A1,LEN(A1) - SEARCH(CHAR(10), A1, SEARCH(CHAR(10), A1) + 1))

Select Column A
Go to Ribbon
Data -> Text to Columns
check "Delimited", click Next
check "Other", enter the character "/" in the box next to Other:
click Finish

Convert text (12.05.79) to date in excel

I have imported some dates into an excel document and I need to format them as dates not text strings.
The format is like this: 12.05.79 but when I set the format to date excel doesn't do anything.
Any way to do this?
C

Two possible ways to convert "in situ" without an extra column
1 - use "Text to columns"
Select column of dates then Data > text to columns > Next > Next > "under column data format" select "Date" and the format from dropdown (MDY or DMY) > OK
2 - use Edit/Replace. Replace "." with "/" (in both cases without quotes)

Changing the format doesn't change the value (or in this case text). You'll have to use a macro, or just use a helper column with the following formula. You can then copy / paste values and remove the first column
=DATEVALUE(SUBSTITUTE(A1,".","/"))
