I think you CF is missing a parameter of SplitValues?

Hi Lee

This works as a loop. The function is called SplitValues, and you call the same function from within the function. Test it to see it. It works (and if not, drop me a line).

But the title of this CF is "ListValues ( InputString ; ListSeparator ; ChunkSize )" not "SplitValues ( InputString ; ListSeparator ; ChunkSize )".

@Thomas: Herzlichen Dank! I had 2 versions. This is my mistake. Corrected now.
@Lee: Sorry – I had overseen my mistake.
