    Convert list to Columns

    Hi Everyone,

    First post, I'm stumped. I have a plain text of employees (made up sample below). It has their name, positions, locations of WFH staff, etc. Each "line" should be a cell, each semicolon should be a new column, each asterisk should begin a new row. I've tried every combination of importing, text-to-columns, etc. This sheet is thousands of lines long and constantly changing. Any ideas about how I could easily separate this out? Thanks in advance!

    This should do the job for you supposing your data is in column A of Sheet1 and output to be in Sheet2:
