    Question How to create a table from text?

    I'm attempting to create a 5 column, 1001 row table from a text file that is separated by line breaks.

    EX:
    Header 1
    Header 2
    Header 3
    Header 4
    Header 5
    Table Row 1a
    Table Row 1b
    Table Row 1c
    Table Row 1d
    Table Row 1e
    Table Row 2a
    etc.

    I've been searching for hours and can't seem to find a way to do so without the table elements being separated by commas.

    Could anyone share their knowledge and help me out? I'd greatly appreciate it.

    Probably, you need a VBA solution.

    But you get better result on your question, if you add a small excel file, without confidential information.

    Please also add the expected result in your file.
    Notice my main language is not English.

    I appreciate it, if you reply on my solution.

    If you are satisfied with the solution, please mark the question solved.

    You can convert the text to spreadsheet format by using text to column option under data menu.

    after the table creation will be easier

    please attach a sample sheet
