Converting text to columns
I have a large data-set with fields that needs to be converted to columns; I have used Excel's "Text-to-Columns" feature using delimiters but there isn't any specific delimiter as mentioned in the options...The data looks like this
What I need is to convert these rows and "One" Column to rows and "Two columns" with "Name" in one and "Company Name" in the other, something like this
If anybody can please help me with this, it would be a great help..
Thanks and best

If you are on Windows select Other and Ctrl+J as delimiter.

Hi Saikat755
If your data is consistent then you may use 'Fixed Width' option as an alternative:
To remove extra lines just double click them and press Finish

As side effect that won't remove line break character at the front of each next column
