Default Split & Rearrange number

Hi Max, thanks for your reply.

The data is in cell A1 only. Not A1:A3. If using your method, original data

1234 23244
4434 121 1442
534 121223 12

will change to
A B
1 1234 23244
where next row data 4434 121 1442 & 534 121223 122 will be gone. The output
should be

A B C D E F G H
1 1234 23244 4434 121 1442 534 121223 12

One play which would bring you close ..

Assuming the data as posted is in A1:A3
Select A1:A3, click Data Text to Columns, delimited.
In step 2, check "Space" Finish. This splits the data into cols A to C.

Then to extract the contents in A2:C3 into row 1,
you could place this in D1:
=OFFSET($A$2,INT((COLUMNS($A:A)-1)/3),MOD(COLUMNS($A:A)-1,3))
Copy D1 across to I1. Kill the formulas with an "in-place" copy n paste
special as values. Clean up by clearing A2:C3.

The "3" in the OFFSET formula refers to the number of source cols (in the
above, its 3 cols - cols A to C). Adjust to suit.

A better way might be to extract the split data
in cols A to C down a col, instead of across a row.

Eg you could place this instead in say E2:
=OFFSET($A$1,INT((ROWS($1:1)-1)/3),MOD(ROWS($1:1)-1,3))
then copy E2 down as far as required to exhaust the source data,
kill the formulas & clean up by using autofilter on col E,
filter for zero, and delete all zero lines, remove autofilter.

Hi,

My excel file Cell A1 has the following format (Multiple numbers in diff rows)
1234 23244
4434 121 1442
534 121223 12

How do I split & re-arrange the data to 1234 (Cell A1) 23244 (Cell B1) 4434
(Cell C1) etc.. ?

Thanks for your help.
