Question is, how do i transfer that data into a table of 3 columns?

Use Text to Columns (under Data menu) with space as the delimiter.

My apologies for not explaining my problem properly. I am using a data
connection to gather the data. I want to result to be displayed in a grid 3
columns wide, or at least with each number in its own cell, without me having
to manually separate them. Also the method you described shows the result in
1 column with each number separated by a comma. Hope this explains my problem
better.

If that string is in A1:

Sub Splitto3()
part1 = Split(Range("A1").Value, " ")
For i = LBound(part1) To UBound(part1)
part2 = Split(part1(i), ",")
For j = LBound(part2) To UBound(part2)
Cells(i + 1, j + 1).Value = part2(j)
Next
Next
End Sub

if the data is in a file, put a .csv at the end of the file name and open it,
does that get you close?
