Formatting columns in excel

I have been given a large data set (about 6000 rows) but it formatted incorrectly. The 3 data types have been inserted into the same column but separated by an indent (see photo below). to analyse the data I need to have each set in separate columns is there a quick way to do this? many thanks

    Select the column.

    On the Data tab of the ribbon, click Text to Columns.

    Select Delimited, then click Next >.

    Select Tab as delimiter, then click Finish.
