I'm writing here as I couldn't find any way of achieving what I need
using Excels built-in modules so probably the only way is through some
code. I have a list of addresses that were imported to Excel and they
are all in one column. I need to get them to be in multiple columns.
E.g. I have 2 or 3 lines of one address in one cell so here I would
need to get each line in a separate column which would give 3 columns
with addresses and then underneath another cells with bits of address
and so on . Hope it makes sense. Can someone help me with this please?

Hi

No code needed.
Look at "TextToColumns" on the Data menu.
To use the function first select the column, then follow the instructions.

Hopes this helps.

I tried that but it won't do what I need unless you know what's the
code for end of line which I don't.

Post an sample of your data, so we know what to deal with.

Not sure how to post it here but I've got something that looks like
this:

________A_______________ B
¦
The Long House ¦
8 Cavendish Square ¦
Barnet ¦
_________________ ¦_______
¦
33 Kings Road ¦
High Road ¦
Putney ¦
_________________ ¦_______
¦
9 Sesame Street ¦
Kent ¦
_________________ ¦_____
.....

and I need this:

_______A______________________B______________C____ ____

The Long House ¦ 8 Cavendish Square ¦
Barnet ¦
__________________________________________________ _____

33 Kings Road ¦ High Road
¦ Putney ¦
__________________________________________________ _____

9 Sesame Street ¦
Kent ¦ ¦

Hope it displays fine. Thanks
yaro

Well it didn't display right. I'll try without lines so it should be:

A
B C
The Long House 8 Cavendish Square Barnet
33 Kings Road High Road Putney
9 Sesame Street Kent

Hope this is clearer.

Hi

As there are no delemitters in the string we have to insert some.

Select the cells, goto Edit Find Find what: " " (enter two spaces)
Replace Replace with ", " Replace All.

Now use TextToColumns with the comma as delemiter"

Hopes this helps

It works all right with one space but not with 2 or more. Thanks
