Have code that parses the text in a cell to columns (see below) It works well when the text is in one continual string.
example:
"July","September","October","November"

But when the data has a crlf separating each item, it does not work right. In such case, I only get the first result of "July".
example:
"July"
"September"
"October"
"November"

My Parse code:

Selection.TextToColumns Destination:=Range("E11"), DataType:=xlDelimited, _
TextQualifier:=xlDoubleQuote, ConsecutiveDelimiter:=True, Tab:=True, _
Semicolon:=False, Comma:=False, Space:=False, Other:=True, OtherChar _
:="""", FieldInfo:=Array(Array(1, 1), Array(2, 1), Array(3, 1), Array(4, 1), Array(5 _
, 1), Array(6, 1), Array(7, 1), Array(8, 1), Array(9, 1), Array(10, 1), Array(11, 1), Array( _
12, 1), Array(13, 1), Array(14, 1), Array(15, 1), Array(16, 1), Array(17, 1), Array(18, 1), _
Array(19, 1), Array(20, 1), Array(21, 1), Array(22, 1), Array(23, 1), Array(24, 1), Array( _
25, 1), Array(26, 1), Array(27, 1), Array(28, 1), Array(29, 1), Array(30, 1), Array(31, 1)) _
, TrailingMinusNumbers:=True

What can I do to handle both situations?
 

Excel Facts

Why does 9 mean SUM in SUBTOTAL?
It is because Sum is the 9th alphabetically in Average, Count, CountA, Max, Min, Product, StDev.S, StDev.P, Sum, VAR.S, VAR.P.
As the data is inconsistent I don't think it's possible to do with Text to Columns.
How many rows of data do you normally have?
Also what result do you want & where?

My apologizes. This is for a work project, so I had to quickly come up with some dummy data. The actual data can include multiple sentences, that can include commas, dollar signs and/or other types of misc symbols. So perhaps my example was oversimplified. But I can tell you that in the first example, everything is begins and ends with a double quote. For the second example, the sentences start with a double quote and (i think) a quote and CRFL.

In that case can you please supply some representative data and you expected outcome.

Yeah, I get what you are saying. I can handle either way, but not both at the same time. No way of determining what I have. Really appreciate the effort.
