Greetings,

I have a matlab script that generates a series of numbers which are ordered in three columns. Something like this:
0 0 0.5625
0 0 0.6250
0 0 0.6875
0 0 0.7500

I want to paste this info to excel but when I do it each cells gets with the three columns (like 0 0 0.5625 in a single cell).
Is there a way to tell excel that a space means "go to another" cell?
Or alternatively select a column a time on matlab?

Thanks in advance!

Will the fill handle fill 1, 2, 3?
Yes! Type 1 in a cell. Hold down Ctrl while you drag the fill handle.
Paste it into a column, then select the column, under the Data menu/option, use Text-To-Columns and select "space" as the separator, that should fix your problem

After you import your data, use the Text To Columns tool in Excel. Choose "Delimited", click Next, Put a checkmark next to "Space", press Finish.
