Unwrap a wrapped text

Hi Guys,

 

I have this file that i converted from PDF to excel...and it's a bit messy.

 

How do i change this wrapped text into individual lines. As you can see below, every lines here are in one single cell and i am trying to find a way to set  up as individual cells for any line of text. 

 

Is there a way to do that?

 

 

Thanks in advance

    The simplest solution may be to put in a new column and use something like this to split on the line breaks:

    =TEXTSPLIT(B2,,CHAR(10))

      Patrick2788Thanks Patrick. it does the job. Just that it stores numbers as text so i had to use =value to sort it out... But all good.

       

      Thanks again
