Select that column and do Data|Text to columns.

I'm not sure if you want the fields with numbers as Text or Numbers (General).

And make sure you have some empty columns to the right!

I am trying to split up some data into multiple columns with part of the data
in each column... ie: 02-34-5-M is currently in one column... i need it
split into 4 columns as the following....
02 34 5 M
01 256 0 Q
7 45 4 T
This needs to be done so I can sort by using the 2nd set of numbers.
Thanks in advance for your help.
