I need to split the text to columns at the L (space). That's an L and a space
 

Excel Facts

Is there a shortcut key for strikethrough?
Ctrl+S is used for Save. Ctrl+5 is used for Strikethrough. Why Ctrl+5? When you use hashmarks to count |||| is 4, strike through to mean 5.
How about
=TRIM(MID(SUBSTITUTE($A2,"L",REPT(" ",500)),(COLUMN(A1))*500,500))

Use Excel's Replace dialog to the two characters "L " (L and a space) with a character that is guaranteed not to be in the text of the cells and then use Text To Columns to split the text on that replacement character.
