Default Text to column

There are a couple of things that I can think of that would return just the
one line.

Do you have blank rows between the rows of data?
Are you selecting the entire column before using the delimiter?

I was trying to use the delimited tool with the ~ symbol to distinguish
where the cell should begin, but when I do this it only will give me the
first row (Scan/tag). What can I do to make this work for me?
I greatly appreciate any assistance!
