Default break up text

Hello,

I have pasted values from notepad into excel. I can't however get the values
to go into seperate cells. for example cell A1 has 7 numbers seperated by
spaces, the same for A2 and A3 etc.

2460070 -181.000000 4921.000000 587.723022 -1.758458
-1.446573 0.000000


Is there a way to get the numbers into seperate cells?

Thanks

Hi

Select the column/range and try Data|Text To Columns. Tell the wizard that
the text is delimted and select Space as the delimiter.
Save a copy of your data before you start!

Hi,
After you past the numbers that are separated by spaces you select the
cell that contains the 7 numbers then click on the Data option menu
item then Text to Columns, follow the wizard and you it will see
wonders......

Cheers
