    spearate names from list

    Hi Guys,

    Please see th esheet attached. (all names used are random)

    I have a list of names separated by a semi colon ;

    Kristina H. Chung; Angela C. McMahon; Stephen I. Wilkinson; Bill L. Klein;
    Paige H. Chen; Lawrence I. Miles; Samuel C. McCormick; Eileen O. Goldberg;
    Sherri E. Melton; Glen R. Kramer; Willie E. Kent; Randall I. Hinson;
    Gretchen I. Hill; Valerie E. Jennings; Kristina M. Small; Kelly E. Weiss;
    Karen U. Puckett; Meredith O. Bowles; Debbie U. Bush; Elaine R. Pritchard;

    I need a macro that will use this list to create a list which shows single names in each cell (without the semi colon character)

    Any ideas?

    Many thanks

    Thanks 'Thisisgerald'

    It is nearly there, I just need it to place them in the same collumn now instead of splitting htem across multiple columns.

    Is this possible?

    Many thanks

    Yes it is possible.

    As my assessment, I will took half an hour to provide you the code.
    I guess you have the logic as well.

    As an alternate for achieving this by macros, you can achieve this by using "Delimiter - Convert Text to Columns" Wizard which you can find under "Data" tab.
