Excel convert 1 row 5 words INTO 1 row 5 columns

K

Kristen Kay

I have a document that was scanned, converted to Word and now I need it in
excel to have the right formatting. I need to get it back to a format so I
can manipulate it for formulas. Example:

1 row with five words and numbers with a seperation by one space only " ",
needs to be 1 row and five individual columns. Is this possible and if so
how do I accomplish this?

Thanks! respond to [email protected] please.

(Summary: items from row 1 and columns A-G were scanned to a document.
Unfortunately those items pasted into column A only. Therefore seperation
between words and numbers need to be converted. Is this possible?)

Select the cells that you want to fragment. Then pull-down

Data > Text to Columns... > then check delimited and next check space as the
delimiter. This will take a sentence in A1 and distribute the words into
cols B,C,D, etc.
