Excellent Conan, thanks for the reply.

Ben,

Investigate your text to columns settings. This sounds like it might be
causing your problems.

Select the cells with data pasted from the website, the click Data menu
Text to Columns...

You will probably want to select "Delimited" the select the correct
delimiter on the next sheet.

HTH,

Conan

Hope I can get an answer here!! Otherwise I'm going to be at work all
night.

Here is the problem:
I used to be able to click and drag some info (date, amount, qty) from a
website and paste it on an Excel file, this would place each (date,
amount, qty) into it's own cell. But today (and yesterday) it is putting
all the info (date, amount...) into one cell only.

I hope that explaination was OK?! My question is: Is there an option I
need to look at to revert back to putting all the data into individual
cells?

Thanks in advance!
Ben
