Thank you,

Manually this can be done by

1) Unmerging cells
2) Text to columns with only the other delimited box selected and do ctrl+j (line break)
3) as the data is now in columns, select the resulting cells, copy
4) click in a8 paste>special>transpose

VBA would ultimately do the same thing if it was a repetitive task

Thank you Purfleet. I was using the same way as you mentioned. Thought that can have any other faster way to do it. πŸ™‚ I have a long list to split that. πŸ™

Thank you for sharing.

At least we both did it the same way!

if you had to do this regularly, say daily or weekly, they i would say a macro is the best way to do it or if you had multiple cells with maybe 5 lines in each cell - however the VBA would be slightly different for each method.

It might be worth recording a Macro doing your steps then looking to see if you can amend the code to provide you with more flexibility.

Happy to help if you can make a start
