    If they are all single letters separated by a space this should work in C1 dragged across and down as far as you need
    =IFERROR(IF(COLUMNS($C$1:C1)>1+LEN($A1)-LEN(SUBSTITUTE($A1," ","")),"",MID($A1,FIND("~",SUBSTITUTE($A1," ","~",COLUMNS($C$1:C1)))-1,1)),RIGHT($A1,1))

    with text to column and a space as seperator.

    see the attached file (yellow cells)

    I think it might be worth mentioning that if this option is used, the OP will need to set the destination cell in step 3 to =$C$1 for the output to appear where it is shown in the sample sheet.

    If you know the text to column solution, please also add that in your threat. Then we don't have to offer that solution.

    Here's another one...

    Your file is set to manual calculation. Set it to automatic.

    This formula entered in C1:

    =TRIM(MID(SUBSTITUTE(" "&$A1&" "," ",REPT(" ",255)),COLUMNS($C1:C1)*255,255))

    Copy down as needed then across until you get a column full of blanks.
