The process for transforming data from a CSV file that is in a singular cell into multiple rows involves the following steps:

  1. Open the CSV file in a spreadsheet program such as Microsoft Excel or Google Sheets.

  2. Navigate to the column that contains the data that needs to be split into multiple rows.

  3. Select the entire column by clicking on the header.

  4. Click on the "Data" tab in the top menu bar.

  5. In the "Data" tab, select the "Text to Columns" option.

  6. In the "Text to Columns" wizard, select "Delimited" and then click "Next".

  7. Choose the delimiter that separates the data in the singular cell. For example, if the data is separated by a comma, select "Comma" and then click "Next".

  8. If there are any additional options, select the appropriate ones and then click "Finish".

  9. The data from the singular cell will now be split into multiple rows in the selected column.

  10. Save the file in its current format or as a new file to keep the original data intact.
