I have a text list copied from the clipboard that pasted everything into one cell. I would like to split the individual records into their own cells, in the column. The records are separated by a comma. Here is a short example of the text list:

0025_Billette_John_Wedding__S516914, 0029_Billette_John_Wedding__S516940, 0041_Billette_John_Wedding__S528265



Thanks for the help!
 

Excel Facts

What does custom number format of ;;; mean?
Three semi-colons will hide the value in the cell. Although most people use white font instead.
Based on just the screenshot, I can't see a reason for the error (are you able to do Text to Columns with the same data?), if you want me to investigate the cause, please upload sample file to a free file sharing site of your choice, something like Dropbox, and post the link here.
