You might need

=INDIRECT("A"&COLUMN()-1)

Basically I want to take the first line and want to place it in B1.
Second
line to be in C1. I want to extract contents from A1 to the respective
cells
to the right. I need a formula in which I can put into place as I have
100+
lines to do and want to take the formula and carry it down the spread
sheet.
Information changes on each line such as detail, feature and my
tolerances.
All lines in cell A1 are ALT Entered to go to next line I would have
made it
into four original cells but, I can't convince work to do it. So this
is what
I have to work with. It is a locked forum. I am sure I need a formula
in each
cell B1,E1 to do this but unable to find one. I am not sure if I can
post my
email but will do so. If you can give me a formula you can email it to
me
that would be great,
