    Turning data in one cell into a list

    Hi there, I've been sent a sheet with a list of names but pasted into one cell. Without manually going through it and pulling them out manually (they're all seperated by semi-colons) is there a way of turning them into a list in a column rather than in cell A1?

    thanks

    Thom

    Hi Thom

    Please post a workbook. It sounds like you need the text to columns function.
