    You might want to go back to your previous thread and say thank you to those of us who helped you: https://www.excelforum.com/excel-for...combining.html

    You will also need to mark that thread as solved. This forum runs on goodwill, and nothing erodes this faster than your lack of common courtesy.

    In B2 copied across and down:

    =IFERROR(TRIM(MID(SUBSTITUTE($A2," ",REPT(" ",100)),COLUMN(A1)*100-99,100)),"")
