    Separate text string so each character is in a different cell

    Hey everyone, I am trying to take a string of text and have each character in the string separated to different cells.

    For instance: on Sheet 1 / Cell B10 I have the word "MONROE". I want that word broken down and on Sheet 2 / Cell B1 have the "M", Cell B2 "O", Cell B3 "N", so on and so forth.

    I am a Police Officer, and this is for a Crash Report. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
