If you mean "1-2-3-4-5" in A1 and you want the real number: 12345 in B1
then place in B1: =SUBSTITUTE(A1,"-","")+0
Copy B1 down to return correspondingly if required

If you mean separate the "1-2-3-4-5" in A1 into 5 cols: 1,2,3,4,5
select col A, then click Data Text to column Delimited
In step 2, Type a dash: - in the "Other" box, click Finish
(ensure there's no data in cols B to E before you do the above)
