My question is similar to this one:
SPLIT function in Google Spreadsheets with OR statement
but has the following difference:
I want to use the delimiter "apple
" and the delimiter ".
" within the SPLIT function.
Since the delimiter apple
has multiple characters, @parkydr answer here doesn't work.
Example:
On this input on A2:
I ate an apple on the bus home. Going
I want it to split like this:
I ate an / on the bus home / Going
I tried this:
=SPLIT(A2,"apple.",TRUE)
I / t / n / on / th / bus / hom / Going
and this
=SPLIT(A2,"'apple''.'",TRUE)
I / t / n / on / th / bus / hom / Going
and this
=SPLIT(A2,"apple.",false)
I ate an apple on the bus home. Going
and this
=SPLIT(A2,"apple"".",false)
#ERROR Formula parse error.
and this
=SPLIT(A2,"'apple''.'",false)
I ate an apple on the bus home. Going
How to make return the next split?
I ate an / on the bus home / Going

You'll have to replace all delimiters with a unique delimiter and split.
