Hi there, i have a relatively simple question. I would like a set of data to be double-spaced. There are two columns of data. Here is what the data looks like now:
1 2
3 4
5 6
7 8
etc.

And here is what i want it to look like:
1
. 2
3
. 4
5
. 6
7
. 8
(I had to put a "." to get it to look right)

Thanks in advance! There are about one million rows so whatever the formula might be to convert the data might take a minute or two i guess.. I really appreciate any help :)

Excel Facts

What does custom number format of ;;; mean?
Three semi-colons will hide the value in the cell. Although most people use white font instead.
if this is what you want use PowerQuery

    #"Split Column by Delimiter" = Table.ExpandListColumn(Table.TransformColumns(#"Merged Columns", {{"Column", Splitter.SplitTextByDelimiter("s", QuoteStyle.Csv), let itemType = (type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true] in type {itemType}}}), "Column"),
    #"Split Column by Delimiter1" = Table.SplitColumn(#"Split Column by Delimiter", "Column", Splitter.SplitTextByDelimiter("a", QuoteStyle.Csv), {"Column.1", "Column.2"})
