extracting data from a cell

M

msam137

I have this data that stored into several cells and each sell holds a
combined 20 data entries in one cell seperated by a space. I was
wondering is there anyway to extract that data with out having to rekey
the numbers. We are talking about a combined 2000 line items if
individually entered. An example is to store numbers 1-100 in to one

Use Data | Text to Columns and use the space as a delimiter/separator.

Trevor that worked out great. Now part 2 of the phase since it seems
like the only way for that data to go is column what is the easiest way
to put it in each individual row. I prefer it to go veritcal rathen
horizontal. Any ideas

Select all the data and copy it.

Go to another area on the sheet or to another sheet. Note the areas cannot
overlap.

Select Edit | Paste Special | Click on Transpose and press Enter
