Default sorting data after import

Hello, I have imported into excel 2003 data from a database (file maker pro)
in csv format and one of the variables has 5 numerical values in one cell.
How do I separate each number into five separate cells?

Each number is separated by a symbol that looks like a rectangle standing on
its narrow end rather than a comma, colon etc. I have tried to copy the
symbol into the 'find' option with a view to using 'replace' to get a comma
between the numbers and then maybe? there is a way to split them into
separate cells, but the programme doesn't paste the symbol into the 'find'
field (just blank).

The ss has over 4000 rows and i really would not fancy doing this manually!!!

many thanks for your help!!!
