Default Separate values in cell by delimiter

Go to Data and then Text to Columns. You can then separate by delimiter

I have a particular cell in Excel that has multiple values defined in
it and separated by a delimiter. Was wondering if someone could help
me out with a macro that could parse this field down the spreadsheet
and separate those values into new columns in the spreadsheet.

So if Column C had:

abc||cde||123

I would like columns F, G, and H to have:
F would be abc
G would be cde
H would be 123

If Column C had
123||345||567||098
F would have 123
G would have 345
H would have 567
I would have 098

The number of values in C is not static and can vary.

Thanks.
