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.

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.

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.

Thanks for your prompt reply and expert help.

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.
