    Re: How to split data from one column to diffrent columns

    Are there carriage returns possibly?

    For example if that exact sample is in cell A1, then what does this formula return?

    =CODE(MID(A1,17,1))

    replace A1 with the address of cell containing the exact example above..... and hopefully that is not a real address for that person.... I will adjust it anyways... except length of the first line... where 17 is the number of characters from first character + 1 in first line only

    thanks for your help .
    the address is a fake one .

    each entry is a different cell in a column , not in one cell .

    so can you help again

    Re: Split data from column

    As long as you have the name/address lists each with consistent number of lines and directly beneath each other, then, assuming you have them beginning in A1, try:

    =INDEX($A:$A,6*(ROWS($A$1:$A1)-1)+COLUMNS($A$1:A$1))

    copied across 6 columns and down as far as you need to retrieve all items.
