Hello All,
I've copied some data from a table in a PDF and pasted it into excel. Each cell now contains about 4 cells worth of data, separated by spaces. So the rows were recognized correctly but the columns were not. Is there any way to create a formula that will enter the data between the spaces into the adjacent cells?

Example:

ABCD EFGHI JKLM-NO PQRSTUVWXYZ

Should be in 4 different cells in the same row as:
ABCD, EFGHI, JKLM-NO, and PQRSTUVWXYZ

Thanks in advance for any help

Love the simplicity! Thank you

In the past I've tried pasting special and these options came up, but they don't any more. Is that just a result of the version of excel?
