Hi Guys, is there a way to split the text below to rows below the text?

Testthisone Otherthanthis profittoday

All text is seperated by a space so the disired result would be:

Test this one
Other than this
profit today

Thanks Fluff, that did work but I've noticed some cells look like the below when you click off the cell so there is actually a space between both words on some but not on others. It looks like the words have been separated using alt and enter

New Creditor
New Vehicle
Vehicle Creditors
Consigned

In that case try
Excel Formula:
=TEXTSPLIT(A2,,CHAR(10))

Perfect, is there a way to drag that formula down when there is data in the rows below? For example: At the moment I'm getting a spill error when I drag it

No you cannot drag it down, otherwise it will prevent the spill.
What exactly are you trying to do?

The data column is the column that needs splitting. As you can see some of the headers are in one cell, but the data in the amount column relates to splits. For example the 500 in B6 in the amount column relates to Profit in cell A5. The problem being there is data below the cells that need splitting. Hope this makes sense

You will just have to put the formula into the 1st blank cell for each value that needs to be split.
