That was what I tried intially, but I got the following:

12345
1
12
123
1234
12345

I want the following results:
12345
1
2
3
4
5

Does this explain what I am looking for a little better?

Try this:

A1 = 12345

Enter this formula in B1 and copy across until you get blanks:

=IF(COLUMNS($B1:B1)<=LEN($A1),--MID($A1,COLUMNS($B1:B1),1),"")

I want to enter a number in one cell and then in different cells have each
number appear. For example, I type 12345 in one cell and then have 1 in a
cell, 2 in a cell, 3 in a cell, 4 in a cell, and 5 in a cell. Is there a
formula to do this?
