Hi I am trying to develop charts using data that has four or five statements in each cell, separated by line breaks (Alt + Enter). Is it possible to distribute text across columns when it is separated by a line break please? Many thanks!

Yes. Data | Text to Columns | Delimited | Tick Other and, in the box, hold the Alt key down and type 010 (zero one zero) on the numeric pad on your keyboard. Click next and choose where to output the data.
