How do I copy a cell value to multiple cells in Excel?

1. Hold ALT button and press F11 on the keyboard to open a Microsoft Visual Basic for Application window.

2. Click Insert > Module, and copy the VBA into the module.

VBA: Convert one cell to multiple rows

Sub TransposeRange()
'Updateby20140312
Dim rng As Range
Dim InputRng As Range, OutRng As Range
xTitleId = "KutoolsforExcel"
Set InputRng = Application.Selection.Range("A1")
Set InputRng = Application.InputBox("Range(single cell) :", xTitleId, InputRng.Address, Type:=8)
Set OutRng = Application.InputBox("Out put to (single cell):", xTitleId, Type:=8)
Arr = VBA.Split(InputRng.Range("A1").Value, ",")
OutRng.Resize(UBound(Arr) - LBound(Arr) + 1).Value = Application.Transpose(Arr)
End Sub

3. Click Run to run the VBA code, and a KutoolsforExcel dialog pops up for you to select a single cell you want to convert its data. See screenshot:

Great tutorial. Do you happen to know, how can you automatize this? I mean if you have multiple cells you want to transpose one below the other? (I am already having the needed number of empty rows in between them, so there is enough space to transpose, just I have more the 2500 rows, and would like to do it one by one.)

The row or field I want to break out into multiple rows is one complete number and I need every 8 numbers in a new row. They are not separated by commas. How can this be done?

Try this way, 1. insert a blank column in before the A column, and number the line 1,2,1,2....you will see: 1 aaaaa 2 11111 1 bbbbbb 2 2222222 1 cccccccc 2 33333333 1 ddddddd 2 44444444 2. Column the entire column b to column c, you get: 1 aaaaa aaaaa 2 11111 11111 1 bbbbbb bbbbbb 2 2222222 2222222 1 cccccccc cccccccc 2 33333333 33333333 1 ddddddd ddddddd 2 44444444 44444444 3. Delete the first cell (shift cell up) in column c, you get: 1 aaaaa 11111 2 11111 bbbbbb 1 bbbbbb 2222222 2 2222222 cccccccc 1 cccccccc 33333333 2 33333333 ddddddd 1 ddddddd 44444444 2 44444444 4. Now, sort column a, you will get: 1 aaaaa 11111 1 bbbbbb 2222222 1 cccccccc 33333333 1 ddddddd 44444444 2 11111 bbbbbb 2 2222222 cccccccc 2 33333333 ddddddd 2 44444444 Delete all the line 2, and column A, you get what you want: aaaaa 11111 bbbbbb 2222222 cccccccc 33333333 ddddddd 44444444

I have a cell with multiple line breaks that I want to preserve and reserve into separate rows. For example: A B C D E Can I maintain the vertical spacing distributed as separate rows? Kutools seems to condense them into: A B C D E
