Excel column separation of data in single cell

I have copy and pasted data into an Excel worksheet that includes each column's value in the first cell only. How can I separate these into their own cells for later calculations without manually doing 1 at a time, since there are 1,200+ cell values. I have included a screenshot of my current issue.

There are many ways to do this.
You can us Data / Text To Columns and split either on fixed width or you can use a space as the delimeter and tell it to treat multiple as single.
You could use a formula using the mid function and trim functions to split out that way.
You could use code using the split function.
SO isn't a volunteer coding site however, it's a learning site so give one of these ideas a go and if you get stuck post back with an example of what you have tried and we will explain what went wrong.
