Using the Excel Text to Column feature, you can choose how to split the column up, fix the width, or split at each comma, period, or other characters.

Select the delimited text and copy it to the clipboard. Launch Excel and create a new workbook. Click the first cell in column A and click the "Paste" button in the ribbon.
