How to split text to columns from newline?

I have cells that contain a newline in middle, as in the cell contents is:

 

“Text1
Text2”

 

I want to split it to: “Text1” and “Text2”

 

Text to columns tool does not seem to have an option to split by newline/linebreak.

 

Is there an another way to do it?

    I read your question again.
    If you want to use the "Text to columns tool" you can insert a linebreak with Ctrl+J (in "other delimiter" or whatever it's called in your version).

        This solution does not work for Excel 365 for Mac, nor on Excel 365.


        What other workaround?
