Parsing Text

**wpwalsh** · 08-08-2012, 10:21 AM

Here's a challenge!

How would one handle parsing a text string in the attached?

It appears that the data includes carriage returns, but not sure. I want transform one long string into multiple distinct strings (in cells).

They are line feeds.

Select the column, Data > Text to columns, tick Delimited, Next, in other Other box, press and hold the Alt key, and on the NUMERIC keypad, type 010

Then press Finish
