Default Splitting a cell into rows instead of columns

oopps, sorry misread yr post

presume your semicolon delimited data is in A1

then insert the following formulae:

B1: =LEFT(A1,FIND(";",A1)-1)
A2: =MID(A1,LEN(B1)+2,LEN(A1)-LEN(B1))
B2: =LEFT(A2,FIND(";",A2)-1)

then drag/copy down as needed

Hi, i have a cell with approx 600 names in it seperated by a semi colon. Â*I

enough columns for that much data (otherwise i could do text to columns then

Is there a similar command to text to columns that pastes the data from a
cell into rows rather than columns?- Ukryj cytowany tekst -
