| Easily convert text to columns in Google Sheets Posted: 01 Mar 2016 01:55 PM PST We know that copying data and pasting it into a spreadsheet can be a pain if the data does not separate neatly into columns. With that in mind, today we're launching a feature in Google Sheets that allows you to split delimited data (e.g. data separated by commas) from one column across multiple columns. There are a few ways you can split delimited data across columns. For example, you can select the columns you want to split, and click Data > Split text to columns. A menu will then appear underneath the data, allowing you to split the data using commas, semicolons, periods, spaces, and even custom separators. In addition to the "Split text to columns" option, you can also format cells containing delimited data using a contextual menu that appears immediately after you've pasted data, as shown in the animation below. You can choose a custom separator through this method also. See the Help Center to learn more.  Launch Details Release track: Launching to Rapid release, with Scheduled release coming in two weeks.

| User custom fields from the directory coming to the Google Contact Manager Posted: 01 Mar 2016 11:53 AM PST Today, Google Apps administrators use custom fields in the domain directory to store information like Projects, Teams, Languages, and whatever else their organization needs. Showing these fields to users within the Google Contacts user interface has been a popular feature request for many domain administrators, because having this information accessible helps users connect more easily. In the coming weeks, the Contact Manager at contacts.google.com will now show user custom fields from the domain directory. User custom fields will respect the permissions that the domain administrator has set. Example:
If you'd like to start using user custom fields, the Directory API is already available in Python, Go, Java, Apps Script, PHP, and more, giving administrators flexibility over what fields to add for users. To control whether fields are shown to users or just administrators, use the readAccessType property. If you've already added user custom fields, in the coming weeks, any user-visible custom fields that Google Apps administrators have added through APIs or Google Apps Directory Sync will now be visible to users as custom fields in the Contact Manager at contacts.google.com. To update the schema, use the Directory API. Limitations
