I have a spreadsheet where each cell contains tens of rows of data i.e. the kind of rows you get when you use Alt+Enter (see attached example). Is there an Excel formula that I can use to automatically move each row of data within the cell to its own cell? I have tried copying and pasting 'text only' but that causes the content of some rows to spill onto several cells. Will appreciate your help.
You can use Data > TextToColumns to split data by "visible characters", but the Alt-Enter (Char(10)) can't be used manually that way.
But, VBA can use the TextToColumns method and it CAN use that character to split the data. So this one-command macro will do it for you:
Please Login or Register to view this content.
How/Where to install the macro:
1. Open up your workbook
2. Get into VB Editor (Press Alt+F11)
3. Insert a new module (Insert > Module)
4. Copy and Paste in your code (given above)
5. Get out of VBA (Press Alt+Q)
6. Save as a macro-enabled workbook
The macro is installed and ready to use. Press Alt-F8 and select it from the macro list.
