Hey guys. I am trying to separate a huge group of phone numbers from one cell into individual cells in a column. the numbers are currently separated by a semicolon. Is there an easy way to perform this action?? Thanks
 

Excel Facts

Format cells as time
Select range and press Ctrl+Shift+2 to format cells as time. (Shift 2 is the @ sign).
Try using Text To Columns with a semicolon as your delimiter.

Individual cells in a column?
You could try out this small code
Code:
Sub separate()
Dim spl
With Range("A1")
    spl = Split(.Value, ";")
    .Offset(1).Resize(UBound(spl) + 1) = Application.Transpose(spl)
End With
End Sub

Sorry, didn't notice you said column! After you do text to columns, you can copy>paste special>transpose into a column.

Not sure which answer you refer to, but if VBA then
Code:
Sub separate2()
Dim spl
With Range("A1")
    spl = Split(.Value, ",")
    With .Offset(1).Resize(UBound(spl) + 1)
        .Cells = Application.Transpose(spl)
        .NumberFormat = """0""General"
    End With
End With
End Sub
