Default Text into Columns

For some reason I cannot accomplish this function - I use the menu drop down
Text to Columns, I choose Delimited, Next, comma (although there are spaces
at the end of each line), General, Finish

What I get is a break out of only two lines turned into columns.

Thanks!

Hi,

How many commas do you have in this delimited string? Can we see a sample of
the data?

There are only two lines that have commas in them.
