Excel Facts

How can you turn a range sideways?
Copy the range. Select a blank cell. Right-click, Paste Special, then choose Transpose.
Which is your XL version please ? Your profile does not say ( recent versions have newer functions)

If you always have the same formatting ( and the correct XL version) try
Excel Formula:
=TEXTSPLIT(SUBSTITUTE(A1," ","%",2),"%")

I am using Excel 2019

I suggest that you update your Account details (or click your user name at the top right of the forum) so helpers always know what Excel version(s) & platform(s) you are using as the best solution often varies by version. (Don’t forget to scroll down & ‘Save’)
