Separating information in a Cell

I can’t seem to work out how to pull data relating to a particular title from one spreadsheet, to another, separating the information on.

For example, column A lists names, and column B lists tests scores for each person. However each person has done several tests, and the tests are listed in one cell, separated by a carriage return (not comma etc, so can't do a delimited function).

I want to create a new spreadsheet with names still in column A, but the test scores separated. So Column B = Test one, Column C = Test two, Column D = Test three, etc. In each column I would like only the test score listed (so not the test title - I will put this in the first row as the column header)

Is this possible?!

I would be so grateful for any advice/help!

rosey_toes,

Welcome to the MrExcel forum.

What version of Excel are you using?

You will generally get much more help (and faster) in this forum if you can post your small samples (sensitive data scrubbed/removed/changed) (what you have and what you expect to achieve) directly in the forum.

To attach screenshots, see below in my Signature block: Post a screen shot with one of these:
