Default Convert String of 512 numbers to a range

I think he said 512 values, and showed 3 digit values separated by commas.
With only 256 columns, he would have to at least break the string in half as
a first step to using Data - Text to Columns.

Hi Kevin
I would use 'Data - Text to columns'. Choose fixed lenght though this
will be quite an effort to choose the delimiting positions for 512
characters :-).
You can also enter the following array formula:
=MID(A1,ROW(INDIRECT("1:" & LEN(A1))),1)
select the target rows, enter this formula and hit CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER
(assumption: A1 stores your string)

545, 565, 576, etc... to a range of 512 cells.

Thanks, Kevin Graham
