    Divide text cells into different rows

    Hello,

    My excel file consists of different columns with information. One column only consists of statements from subjects. Due to different meanings in one statement, we need to divide some of those statements so that we need to divide one row in for example 2 rows. Here is an example:
    Original version:

    Column A Column B
    Speaker 1 Hello, my name is speaker one. What is you name?
    Speaker 2 My name is speaker 2

    Version we strive for:
    Column A Column B
    Speaker 1 Hello, my name is speaker one.
    Speaker 1 What is your name?
    Speaker 2 My name is speaker 2

    One problem is, that I would need to create a new row in the second version without overwriting the next row.

    I know this is possible using the text to column function and then copy the columns into rows (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Yqy...0Wo_UlBaMQ0Gjw). Since we have 8000 statements, this would be too labor intensive. I hope someone has a great idea how to do that in a few steps. This would be so great and would save us a lot of time! So thank you very much in advance!

    Martin

    Your post does not comply with Rule 8 of our Forum RULES. Do not crosspost your question on multiple forums without including links here to the other threads on other forums.

    Cross-posting is when you post the same question in other forums on the web. The last thing you want to do is waste people's time working on an issue you have already resolved elsewhere. We prefer that you not cross-post at all, but if you do (and it's unlikely to go unnoticed), you MUST provide a link (copy the url from the address bar in your browser) to the cross-post.

    Expect cross-posted questions without a link to be closed and a message will be posted by the moderator explaining why. We are here to help so help us to help you!

    Read this to understand why we ask you to do this, and then please edit your first post to include links to any and all cross-posts in any other forums (not just this site).
