The widget splits a user-defined text or categorical variable into separate variables. The newly-created variables can be categorical (with Yes and No values), numeric (with 0 and 1 values), or counted (if a given value appears more than once). The widget is typically used with survey data.

The advantage of Split is that now, we can count each response individually. Say, we observe how the responses differ on the position of the respondent in [Box Plot](../visualize/boxplot.md). It seem the professors especially appreciate Orange for its visual programming approach.
