Reformatting data
Excel 2003.
A report comes in in RTF format. It has the data for each of the 12 months all in 1 row and 1 column, separated by a space between each one. So there are 12 groups of data in each row, separated by a space between each one. I wanted to reformat that data so that it would have each months data in a separate column/cell. So the 12 groups of data in 1 row and 1 column, would become 12 columns of data on 1 row, the same row, each in its own cell. The data has these formats coming in on Sheet1. Col A ### #,### #.# ##.#% $###,### Thanks for your expert help. -- Rick |

So all those numbers are in a single cell (like A1) for each year.
Maybe you could select the range and do Data|text to columns (xl2003 menus) Delimited by spaces and plop the output into the adjacent 12 cells. Rick wrote: Excel 2003.

Thanks Dave,
It worked perfectly. Just the solution I needed. Yes, the data was in cell A1. The Data | Text to Columns ... menu choice is also in xl2000.

Glad it worked.
Before xl2007, the menus in all the versions were pretty much the same. I use xl2003 menus to mean any of those versions--just to distinguish it from the xl2007 ribbon stuff.
