Replacing commas with carriage return

[Guest]

Hi All,

I have a list of names like so:

John Thomson, Paul Cooper, Ian Smith, Mark Devlin... and so on

The names are in one continuous string i.e. they start from one cell (A1).

I'd like to replace the commas with a carriage return to place each name
into its own cell. Is there function or calculation I can use to achieve
this?

Any advise would be appreciated.

TIA - H

=SUBSTITUTE(A21,",",CHAR(10))

but you will still need to manually add wrap text to the cell and adjust its
height

Data->Text to columns/separated by commas
This will place each name into separate columns and it removes commas.

Oops, I mis-read, this just newlines them.

Hi All,

Thanks for the response. I used the data > text to columns feature,
followed by copy / paste special transpose function.

Thanks again,
H
