Have code that parses the text in a cell to columns (see below) It works well when the text is in one continual string.
example:
"July","September","October","November"

But when the data has a crlf separating each item, it does not work right. In such case, I only get the first result of "July".
example:
"July"
"September"
"October"
"November"

My Parse code:

Selection.TextToColumns Destination:=Range("E11"), DataType:=xlDelimited, _
TextQualifier:=xlDoubleQuote, ConsecutiveDelimiter:=True, Tab:=True, _
Semicolon:=False, Comma:=False, Space:=False, Other:=True, OtherChar _
:="""", FieldInfo:=Array(Array(1, 1), Array(2, 1), Array(3, 1), Array(4, 1), Array(5 _
, 1), Array(6, 1), Array(7, 1), Array(8, 1), Array(9, 1), Array(10, 1), Array(11, 1), Array( _
12, 1), Array(13, 1), Array(14, 1), Array(15, 1), Array(16, 1), Array(17, 1), Array(18, 1), _
Array(19, 1), Array(20, 1), Array(21, 1), Array(22, 1), Array(23, 1), Array(24, 1), Array( _
25, 1), Array(26, 1), Array(27, 1), Array(28, 1), Array(29, 1), Array(30, 1), Array(31, 1)) _
, TrailingMinusNumbers:=True

What can I do to handle both situations?

Appreciate the response, but this only works for cases where the string includes the carriage returns. Apparently, I don't know when I will see cells that will include them or not.

The code Fluff posted in Message #3 works correctly for me. Can you post an example cell content for which it did not work for you?

In you op you showed values that were separated by commas, but in the test file, the first sample does not have commas.
Which is correct?
