Converting Text String to Separate Numbers
 

I copied some information from a website directly into Excel. However,
all the numbers are included in one cell as a text string. How do I
get each data element into a separate field in Excel and do this so the
numbers are recognized as number. Examples of the text strings are
listed below:
Sep11 393 DENVER -4.5 -6 -5 -6 -4
-6
01:00 394 MIAMI 38.5 37 38.5 37
37

try click on the cell and then click on DATA TEXT TO COLUMNS then you
have two choices Delimited wher spaces or commas or / marks will
serperate the text into cells or you have the option of fixed with wher
you can move the vertical lines to split the cell
