Default Split text file into Excel sheet and separate the final resultsinto a new sheet

Dear Glenn,
Thank you very much for your file.
The spaces are inserted. However, my data have hundreds of headers and
consequently data, but I can not understand how could I put them to
the PivotTable. The number of headers is variable for each situation.
Thanks in advance,
Luciano

Dear Glenn,
I'm having some problems. Some of your stepes suggestions seems that
they did not work fine with me. Would it be possible that you send me
a sample sheet?
Thanks in advance,

I had to make some small modifications to the formulas to handle leading spaces
in the data I copied from your original message. *Not sure if they are present
in the actual data or not, but if they are it should work now.

C2 = IF(D2="","",IF(C1="",A1,C1))

D2 = IF(ISERROR(FIND(" ",A2)),"",TRIM(LEFT(TRIM(A2),
FIND(" ",TRIM(A2)))))

E2 = TRIM(MID(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(TRIM(A2)," ",
REPT(" ",99),2)," ",REPT(" ",99),1),99,99))

F2 = TRIM(MID(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(TRIM(A2)," ",
REPT(" ",99),3)," ",REPT(" ",99),2),99,99))

G2 = TRIM(MID(SUBSTITUTE(TRIM(A2)," ",REPT(" ",99),3),99,99))
