First, paste the data into a cell. Then use Text To Columns with comma
delimited to split it into individual cells. Then select all of the cells and
Copy. Select the first cell where you want the rows to start and Paste Special
/ Transpose.

How many such numbers are there?
If you are using Excel 2003 and you have less than 255 numbers then
Use Text to Columns to separate them into Columns
Select the numbers Copy and PASTE SPECIAL|Transpose on the row below

Hi,

If you really need a single formula for this, then try the following.
Paste you data into, say, A1, so that it looks like 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8 etc.
Then enter the following formula in A2

=--MID(SUBSTITUTE($A$1,",",""),ROW()-ROW($A$1),1)

and copy down as far as necessary.
