Hello,

The included image is list of areas the people select they'd consider living by an online form.

They are able to select multiple areas that they're interested in living - if you notice that more than one cell has multiple areas A23 has - Llantrisant Cardiff Bridgend Porthcawl Port Talbot. There is no spaces between each area and I am unable to include one prior them being brought into excel.

I need a way move all areas into 1 column combined, but each area be in it's own cell. Each area will always start with a capital letter but some areas like Port Tablot may consist of two or more words.

Many thanks for any help
Lou

Excel Facts

How to total the visible cells?
From the first blank cell below a filtered data set, press Alt+=. Instead of SUM, you will get SUBTOTAL(9,)
This macro assumes your data starts in row 2 in column A.
VBA Code:
Sub SplitCells()
    Application.ScreenUpdating = False
    Dim v As Variant, i As Long, ii As Long, arr As Variant
    v = Range("A2", Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp)).Value
    For i = UBound(v) To LBound(v) Step -1
        If InStr(v(i, 1), Chr(10)) > 0 Then
            arr = Split(v(i, 1), Chr(10))
            For ii = UBound(arr) To LBound(arr) + 1 Step -1
                Rows(i + 2).EntireRow.Insert
                Range("A" & i + 2) = arr(ii)
            Next ii
            Range("A" & i + 1) = arr(LBound(arr))
        End If
    Next i
    Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub
