First order of business would be to convert that single column into
multiple columns. Use the Excel feature "Text to Columns" to parse
this out for you.

1) Highlight the column of data
2) From the menus select Data | Text to Columns
3) Choose Delimited then Next
4) Deselect all Delimiter boxes except check the Comma box
5) Click Finish to do it or Next to add formatting for each column.

That should get you to a more usuable database.
