Solved

Hello,

I have a sequence of about fifty values separated by TAB.
I would like to convert this string in Excel so that each value is on its own line.
In other words, replace the TABs with new lines.

How can I do this, please?

Thank you.

    @lentz. actually, it seems that polo has a text file

    so
    in Excel
    open it as a text file
    then choose delimited
    then tab
    which should give you a file where the headers are in line
    if you want them in a column, you can use the transpose function
    and save it in Excel format

    PS. clearly stating the problem can help solve it ....

    good continuation

    Can you send your file via cjoint.com as it allows for better understanding!

    Thank you for your response... but there is nothing complicated about my statement.

    A string made up of x values separated by a tab.
    We want to convert this line (string) into a column with 1 line per value.

      Maybe you understand since you have the file in front of you, but we have nothing... just your statement and what are RCs for you?

    Sorry...
    RC = carriage return, that is, RETURN.

    Hello
    the ASCII code for the horizontal tab is 9, and the carriage return is 13
    but, as Lentz said
    if you could send us a file (Excel 2003 format) with a cell containing a string of the described type, we would certainly see more clearly

    wishing you well

      You really don’t want us to help you

      ccm81 says: "if you could send us a file (Excel 2003 format)"

      You send: "http://www.cijoint.fr/cjlink.php?file=cj201110/cij2vaIDyd.txt"

    I thought it would be simple to copy and paste!
    Thank you for your help.

    Note to the Tarnais: I honestly thought my problem was clearly stated!

    "A string composed of x values separated by a tab.
    We want to convert this line (string) into a column with 1 line per value."

    Thank you. See you soon.

      Hello,
      it seems to you, but talking about TAB and RC is more complex than talking about rows and columns.


      Not much in your model, just a suspicion of wanting to switch from rows to columns, which remains to be demonstrated.
      Three options in the attached file,
      http://www.cijoint.fr/cjlink.php?file=cj201110/cijOFfhDxF.xls

      then come back to us to clearly (I insist) say what you want.
      Regards.
