in 1 column underneath each other but i want to divide it into 5 different
columns.The info is large over 800 companies divided by
name,adress,city,state and telephone number.I want to divide that info into 5
respective columns.I have tried and concateante and then divide it without
success.

One way ..

Assume data is in col A, in A1 down,
in groups of 5 lines each, w/o any blank lines in between, viz.:

Nam1 < 1st group
Add1
Cit1
State1
Tel1
Nam2 < 2nd group
Add2
Cit2
State2
Tel2
etc

Put in B1:
=INDEX($A:$A,ROWS($A$1:A1)*5-5+COLUMNS($A$1:A1),)

Copy B1 across 5 cols to E1, fill down until zeros appear
signalling exhaustion of data from col A

You'd get the layout:

Nam1 Add1 Cit1 State1 Tel1
Nam2 Add2 Cit2 State2 Tel2
etc

Select Column A, then
Data->Text to Columns
