Split a column into multiple rows

I brought a table of 55 records of data into excel that ended up as a single column of dates, numbers, and text that is one record in 14 rows. I've tried transpose, but it doesn't want to break at 14 columns. Is there any way to do this?

Have a look at the file in link below. It contains a working example based on your example data.

Forget about reading a 400-page book. To get started with PQ go to the site mentioned below.

    The previous is three records of data. I'm only interested in field 2 - Length, field 4 - Title, field 11 - Views, field 14 - likes.

    Hi,

    Share some data to work with and also specify the headings that you want for each of the 14 columns.

    Excel 365 Pro Plus with Power Query.

    Split multiple columns with cells with multiple lines

    into columns with rows with single lines.

    Share your file if I channeled your wrong database.
