    Text to Columns only keeps first line.

    Hello, I have thousands of Addresses in a column that I need to convert to a cell each for address town state and postcode
    Currently its separated by line breaks

    I understand how to do it but it isnt working.
    I highlighted all the cells, and went into text to columns, but even with nothing selected only the first line is exported.

    I Tried replacing the line breaks with Comma's but ticking the Comma box still didnt work
    I have attached an example

    Re: URGENT Help required with Text to Columns

    Attach a sample workbook (not a picture or pasted copy). Make sure there is just enough data to demonstrate your need. Include a BEFORE sheet and an AFTER sheet in the workbook if needed to show the process you're trying to complete or automate. Make sure your desired results are shown, mock them up manually if necessary.

    Remember to desensitize the data.

    Click on GO ADVANCED and then scroll down to Manage Attachments to open the upload window.
    My General Rules if you want my help. Not aimed at any person in particular:

    2. Check back on your post regularly. I will not return to a post after 4 days.
