use find and replace, find: ";" replace "ctrl+j" (newline character)

Thanks yudlugar. While using your method, its working properly but I am getting 2-3 extra blank spaces. Is it possible to restrict with only one space

e.g. if oracle; corp is there then output should be
oracle
corp


But I am getting sometimes output like
oracle

corp

=trim(substitute(H1,";","*ctrl+j*"))

in an empty column (say Z1) and copy down. then copy and paste values over column H.
