Hi there
I have a cell that has a full address in it and I would like to separate it out into Name, Address1, Address2, City, Province, Postal COde and Contact name.
Does anyone have a quick way to do this?

If the various fields are delimited by commas within the string (or via another delimiter) you can use Text to Columns -- highlight the column in question and do Text to Columns, choose Delimited with Comma as Separator (or other as appropriate)
Note: save file prior to actioning just in case you get unanticipated results.
If this is not the case (no delimiter) you will need to provide some sample data to see if a solution is possible.
Peel Condominium Corporation No. 789 c/o Test Property Management 1850 Steeles Road, Suite 12 Toronto, ON M1T 5T2 Attn: Danny Gans
then another cell could be this
Claims Back International Ltd. 1180 Jacks Street East Milton, ON L5P 1L3 Attn: Tim Cornerer
I tried the text to column function (thanx by the way) but because they are all different it is hard to figure out - I can separate each word and I tried to CONCECATE them but there are over 8000 entries and I don't want to have to go through each one.
