    Question Large list of names listed in a single cell that need to be columnised

    I have a large collection of names copied from a database which has appeared in a single cell, separated by commas. Is there a way that I can separate this data so that each name receives its own cell? Basically so I can sort the data into a column format with each name below the other.

    If you've PowerQuery add-in you can split string by comma to the rows - result will be a column with each name in one own cell

    add example excel file to clarify
