You should be able to use Data | Text to Columns for this. Choose the "|"
as the delimiter and that will split the data up and lose the "|"

Data > Text to Columns

Try Data>Text to Columns>Delimited by>Other. Enter a | (pipe) and Finish

Make sure you have a few blank columns to the right of your original column.
