    Delimiting a Cell

    I have a spreadsheet that has 1794 rows and one column (B). Each cell has the following format (see below):




    " Crowley & McKoon
    Attorneys
    2420 Double Churches Road
    Columbus, GA 31901-
    (706) 324-4375
    [email protected]"




    Again, this information is in cell B1. The next cell with data is cell B3 (see below)


    "100 Black Men of W. GA.
    Community/Civic Organizations & Non-Profits
    601 Union St.
    LaGrange, GA 30241
    (706) 812-1007
    [email protected]"



    I am trying to get each line of the information into its' own cell. How do I delimit the entire spreadsheet or do I have to do each cell independently?

    Try this....
    • Select your single-column list
    • Data.Text-to-columns...Check: Delimited...Click: Next
    ...Check: Other....in the character box: Hold down CTRL and type J
    ...Click: Finish
    Is that something you can work with?

    Note: I corrected the above...Data.Text-to-columns was incorrectly entered as: Home.text etc

    Gentlemen:

    No, this did not work as when I selected the delimited and clicked next, the box only showed the Name at the top and all the other data in the box was gone??? Any other suggestions?

    I think you'll need to post a sample workbook so we can figure out what's happening.
