Need help autosorting information into different cells
So I have about 911 things to input into Microsoft Excel, and they are supposed to be seperated by 4 different categories. I tried copying and pasting everything, hoping everything would be autoformated into seperate cells, but everything just got inputted into the whole first column and only the first cell. So the first cell basically looked like: Category 1 Category 2 Category 2 | Cell 2 Info for Cat1 Info for Cat2 Info.etc| Cell 2 What I'm hoping for it to look like when I paste everything in is: Category 1 | Category 2 | Cateogory 3 Info Info | Info info | Info Info Help?  -- Shukumi ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Shukumi's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=36923 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=566325 |
