Default moving multiple data in a cell to other columns

I imported a spreadsheet. One column contains multiple data lines that I
want to put into separate columns. They are consistent in their
presentation. How do I do this?

Assuming column A with consistent sets of data........seven cells to a set.

Adjust the "7" in formula to suit your layout.

In B1 enter =INDEX($A:$A,(ROWS($1:1)-1)*7+COLUMNS($A:B)-1)

Copy across to H1

Select B1:H1 and copy down until you get zeros.
