I have a bunch of data that looks like this

abc, def, 123, ghi


The lengths of each string aren't consistent line over line. If an entire worksheet was like this I'd just go to Data/CSV and open it like that but this is just a small range.

How would I separate values that are currently separated by commas into 4 different fields?
 

Excel Facts

Convert text numbers to real numbers
Select a column containing text numbers. Press Alt+D E F to quickly convert text to numbers. Faster than "Convert to Number"
Sort by date Sort by votes
If they are in one column have a look at Text to columns on the Data tab.
