Default Text into column data

Hi,

I have data that is pasted into a single cell as follows:

Canada 4.1 98.6 102.5 105.2 104.6 105.6 106.0 105.3 105.7 106.5 105.3 105.4
105.2 104.8

I would like to create a series of formula in different adjacent cells so
that it will pull the data into different columns. E.g.

Canada would be grabbed from for Col 1
4.1 would be grabbed for Col 2
98.6 for Col3... etc.

I have numerous lines of text like this to enter and it would save lots of
time.

Thanks in advance for any advice.
RA

I've managed to solve my own problem! Sorry, I'll use search function more
thoroughly before posting next time.

I used the text to column function in the Data menu.
