    How to transfer data that is separated by a comma, into different columns

    I am trying to transfer data into a spreadsheet that is separated by a , (comma) that needs to go into separate columns. Does anyone have any ideas. Doing this manually will take me many hours. When I copy the data in to the spreadsheet it appears all in column "A". I need it separated into 5 different columns.

    On the ribbon on the data tab, there is an Icon, Text to columns. This will do exactly what you want.
