How to split columns with multiple lines w/in cells
I have complete addresses in each cell. For example, cell A1 has:
John Smith 123 Main St Anytown, XX 12345 All lines of data are contained within a single cell. How can I split it so I have the first line (John Smith) copied to cell B1, line 2 to C1, and line 3 to D1? I am trying to avoid the manual copy/paste method. Thanks for any advice! |

How to split columns with multiple lines w/in cells
Are these lines within the cell caused by using alt-enters or are they just
natural line breaks when wraptext is turned on? If you used alt-enters to get the newline Select the column Data|text to columns Delimited Other box type: ctrl-j and finish up. ctrl-j is the same as alt-enter Ben wrote: I have complete addresses in each cell.
