I have one cell with multiple items.

How can I split one cell into multiple rows?  I don't have a unique Delimited.  I tried Textsplit, but getting errors.  Any help is greatly appreciated

Since you have three columns of data, please mock up how you would like the result to look like.  I want to be sure we supply the right answer before going forward.  Also, which version of Excel are you using?

Hi Alan 

Microsoft® Excel® 2019 MSO (Version 2509 Build 16.0.19231.20138) 64-bit

Row 1 is the download file, from the application. 

I would like to see TextSplit output like in row 4

I doubt that your Excel version supports the TEXTSPLIT function, but if you can get your hands on a more modern version this should work to split the text in B1 (similar for the others):

=TEXTSPLIT(B1,,CHAR(10),TRUE)

 

Otherwise I'd use Power Query as demonstrated in the attached file for C1.

Hi Riny- Can you post the step by step instructions on how you did Power Query for Cell C26

Have you worked with PQ before? If not, a 'step-by-step' may not be very helpful. But, in the example I gave, I connected PQ to the a table with just one row and one column containing only the text that I copied from C1.

And then I had PQ split the cell into rows based with "#(lf)" as the delimiter. This is the code used in PQ to indicate a line feed. In Excel, that would be a CHAR(10).
