I have an Excel Table, and in a column is a list of phone numbers. One cell can have several phone numbers in it using a pipe delimiter. I would like to use a dynamic formula that will create a new list of phone numbers in 1 column that has 1 phone number per cell (or just whatever is between the pipe delimiters).
(BTW, the formula will need to work on a table that has 1,000's of rows)

Excellent wk9128! However, the issue is that this works for a column that is about 2000 rows. If it's over that, I get a "#CALC!" response and my columns will be many thousands (like maybe 10,000-30,000)
This formula does not have a limitation of 32768 chracters for the whole table.
Only a limitation of 32768 characters for each cell.
