Aug 26, 2007 Just put all the segments into one location and double-click the first segment. That should cause the disk image to mount just as if it was a single dmg file. Normally the segments are named such that the first segment has a.dmg extension and the rest of the segments have names ending in.002.dmgpart,.003.dmgpart, etc. Split a PDF file by page ranges or extract all PDF pages to multiple PDF files. Split or extract PDF files online, easily and free. Dec 31, 2017 I tried this, it does split the values into separate tabs, but not separate files with the different names. I want to split the data based on column A, then have them all into separate sheets with the file name same as the name in column A. Also, if possible to leave about 5 rows from the top of the sheet, as I want to have a heading there.

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
It would be a nice feature to include the option to split the archive files, whether it be zip, 7z, tar.gz, tar.bz, rar, dmg, etc into multiple chunks

Describe the solution you'd like
The option to split the compressed backups into multiple files would allow for some easier storage in some places, not to mention make it easier to defragment the drive they are on because smaller files makes it easier to move and create the free space needed for bigger files.

This also makes it easier and possible for moving large files around, for instance a game is compressed to a 100GB file won't fit on a 32GB USB flash drive, or even on a FAT32 file system, which almost all systems support when they don't directly support another OS file system, ie windows not reading ext4 or APFS. It even would make it possible to burn onto DVD-Rs or even BD-Rs if a file can be split into 4.7GBs, 25GBs, 50GBs, etc. Split just enough to be able to burn it to a long term storage medium where you know it won't need to be updated frequently if at all.
On the subject of updating the games, splitting might even make it easier for backing up the updates to the compressed files. Instead of having to open up a 100GB zip file just to replace a couple gigabytes of data, you can open up a single 10GB file that holds the changed data, and replace that instead, updating the master record in the first compressed file.
Additional context
When looking at the UI in Task Manager, there's a lot of empty space to the right of the 'Compress' option. That space could be used to include options such as file type/extension, and set options for splitting files into certain sizes, like 700M for CD-Rs, 4.7G for DVD-Rs, 8 for DL DVD-R, and 25G, 50G, 100G for BD-Rs. Even include 2, 3, and 4G if you expect to copy the files to a FAT32 drive to migrate to another system that doesn't support NTFS or exFAT, or you can't install the libraries for said file systems.
