An Excel Add-In that splits multi-value cells into separate rows.

Great for office workers, university students, and geeks (this term used affectionately), who need to normalise their data sets.

  1. Download this file
  2. Move this file to your Excel Add-Ins folder (C:\Users\YOUR_USER_NAME\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\AddIns)
  3. Navigate to Excel > File > Options > Add-ins > Go...
    • Check the box next to 'Text to Rows'
    • Click OK
  4. Confirm that you have a new button on your toolbar, "Text to Rows"
  5. Note: You may need to repeat steps 3 and 4 a few times to see the button appear as expected

πŸ“ Usage

  1. Select the range of cells containing the rows you want to split image

  2. Click on the Text to Rows button in Excel's Ribbon (Ribbon > Data > Data Tools > Text to Rows)
