how to split one cell into multiple rows?
 

I have hundreds of cells that contain multiple lines. For example, in one
cell, I have apple
orange
banana
etc.
Now I want to break them into several rows. I know one way I could do is to
highlight the content of the cell and paste it into another cell. However,
this task is huge since I have hundreds of such cells. Could some experts
help me on this?

Thanks a lot!

Answer: how to split one cell into multiple rows?
 

Sure, I can help you with that! Here's how you can split one cell into multiple rows in Microsoft Excel:

1. Select the cell or range of cells that you want to split.
2. Click on the "Data" tab in the ribbon at the top of the Excel window.
3. Click on the "Text to Columns" button in the "Data Tools" group.
4. In the "Convert Text to Columns Wizard" that appears, select "Delimited" and click "Next".
5. In the next screen, select the delimiter that separates the text in your cell(s). In your case, it looks like the delimiter is a line break, so select "Other" and type in the character that represents a line break (usually it's "Ctrl+J"). You should see a preview of how your text will be split.
6. Click "Next" and choose the format for each column. If you want each line to be in a separate row, select "Text" for all columns.
7. Click "Finish" and your cell(s) will be split into multiple rows.

That's it! This method should work for any number of cells that contain multiple lines. Let me know if you have any questions or if there's anything else I can help you with.

Assuming that you have Alt-Enter in those cells causing the data to
wrap, then you could highlight the column then click on Data | Text-to-
Columns. In the panel that pops up, click on Delimited, then Next,
then in the Other box enter CTRL-J (which is equivalent to Alt-Enter
in this case), then click Next, and then on the final panel you might
like to change the destination where the parsed columns will go, then
click Finish.

If it is not Alt-Enter but a space that is causing your cells to wrap
(with a narrow column), then follow the method above but indicate that
the delimiter is a space on the second panel.

Hope this helps.
