    Separate Data in one cell

    I have copied a line of 15 values from a pdf file into excel, but they all appear in one cell with a space in between each value. Is there a way to automatically separate these values into 15 different cells?

    Select cell (or cells, or column) with your data and do the following:

    Data -> Text to columns (find it for 2003)
    Delimited
    choose space
    Finnish
    Never use Merged Cells in Excel

    Hi waj42 and welcome to the forum.
    Find the example on the attached. Put your string in A1 and this formula in B1 and pull across and down.

    I'm with zbor text to columns is probably easiest but I'd use English not Finnish
