Default Splitting a cell into rows instead of columns

I do not understand what any of that is but it worked so thanks very much :)

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

why not copy-PasteSpecial-Values, select Transpose to some other

apply text to columns
then come back with data in needed format

Hi, i have a cell with approx 600 names in it seperated by a semi colon. I
want to get this data into rows, so one name per cell going down the page in
list form. Text to columns does that for columns, but Excel doesnt have
enough columns for that much data (otherwise i could do text to columns then
paste special and transpose to get it in a row).


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