You can use worksheet functions or a macro.
In B1 enter this formula................
=INDEX($A:$A,(ROWS($1:1)-1)*4+COLUMNS($A:B)-1)
Will return
1,2,3,4
5,6,7,8 etc.
Copy across to Column E then select B1:E1 and copy down untill you get
zeros.
With a macro.........................
Public Sub SplitToCols()
Dim NumCols As Integer
Dim i As Integer
Dim colsize As Long
On Error GoTo fileerror
NumCols = InputBox("Choose Final Number of Columns")
colsize = Int((ActiveSheet.UsedRange.Rows.Count + _
(NumCols - 1)) / NumCols)
For i = 2 To NumCols
Cells((i - 1) * colsize + 1, 1).Resize(colsize, 1).Copy Cells(1, i)
Next i
Range(Cells(colsize + 1, 1), Cells(Rows.Count, 1)).Clear
fileerror:
End Sub
