split string after 35 character limit

Hi I am trying to split a string from column1 into columns 1 and 2 once the string in column1 reaches the 35 character limit. Also, It doesn't matter if the string cuts off in the middle of a word.

 

Column1Column2
Hello world! Insert test string here. 
Hello world!!!!!!!! Insert test string here. 
test1 test1 test2 test2 test3 test4  

 

can someone help on how to do this?

 

Thanks!!

HI @Jairacha 

 

I'm thinking the SUBSTRING() function should work. it's a 0-based count so the first character would start at position 0, not 1)

Maybe we can use also RegEx
