Hi,

I have a lot of data sequences I need to statistically analyze.
The problem is that the numbers are separated by a space character.
I need each number to be in a different excel cell.
Is there a way to tell excel to use the space as "move the next number to a different cell"?

For example:
1 2 3 4
needs to go to 4 cells:
| 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 |

If i just do copy paste, excel (obviously) puts all the numbers in the same cell:
| 1 2 3 4 |

Which is not what i need..

Thank you!
 

Excel Facts

Return population for a City
If you have a list of cities in A2:A100, use Data, Geography. Then =A2.Population and copy down.
Excel has a text-to-column built-in function, give it a try

it's on menu > data > text to columns, and use space as delimiter
