Below is a sample of the last six finishing positions for particular horses.

What would be the best method to parse the data so that it appears in
six columns (one column for each run)?

The runs are not always numerical as you can see. There are such things
as P,F. Sometimes there are blanks (horse never ran before).

your data in column A
Then in B1:
=MID($A1,COLUMN(A1),1)
drag it 6 columns to the right and then down

Thank you Claus.

I get the value in B1, but nothing in the other cells, dragging in the
way you describe?

See previous post. Sorted. I copied the cell B1 and pasted in all the
cells.

Thanks again.
