Joe,

The macro below was written on the assumption that you have headers in row 1, and your first data
point to be split is in row 2.

If you want to retain the original sheet, copy the sheet before running the macro.

Sub JoeSplit()
Dim myC As Range
Dim myV As Variant
Dim i As Integer
Dim myR As Long

For myR = Cells(Rows.Count, 2).End(xlUp).Row To 2 Step -1
myV = Split(Cells(myR, 2).Value, ";")
Cells(myR, 2).EntireRow.Copy
If UBound(myV) 0 Then
Cells(myR, 2).Resize(UBound(myV) - LBound(myV)).EntireRow.Insert
For i = LBound(myV) To UBound(myV)
Cells(myR, 2).Offset(i, 0).Value = myV(i)
Next i
End If
Next myR

Application.CutCopyMode = False

End Sub

try this code

Sub seperate_semicolon()

LastRow = Cells(Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row
RowCount = 1
Do While Range("A" & RowCount) < ""
SemiColonStr = Trim(Range("B" & RowCount))
Do While Len(SemiColonStr) 0
If InStr(SemiColonStr, ";") 0 Then
Number = Left(SemiColonStr, InStr(SemiColonStr, ";") - 1)
SemiColonStr = Mid(SemiColonStr, InStr(SemiColonStr, ";") + 1)
Rows(RowCount + 1).Insert
Range("B" & RowCount) = Number
Range("A" & RowCount + 1) = Range("A" & RowCount)
Range("C" & RowCount + 1) = Range("C" & RowCount)
RowCount = RowCount + 1
Else
Number = SemiColonStr
Range("B" & RowCount) = Number
SemiColonStr = ""
End If
Loop

RowCount = RowCount + 1
Loop

End Sub
