          I think this may be the easiest way



          split(textjoin("||",,Sheet1!A1:A30),"|",,false)

          This answer is based on Toms answer:




          split(textjoin("||",,Sheet1!A1:A30),"|",,false)




          I like the solution because it is simple.



          More general question would be:



          How to add N extra separator columns with a formula



          Here's the formula:



          =TRANSPOSE(SPLIT(JOIN("|"&rept("|",1),A1:A30),"|",1,0))



          where




          • "|" is a rare char you do not have in your dataset


          • rept("|",1) is to get N separator columns. Change 1 to N.


          The only problem with the formula is join function limit on 50000 characters.



          The final function won't give the error with a large dataset.



          Please try:



          =TRANSPOSE(ArrayFormula(TRIM(SPLIT(QUERY(A1:A30&"|"&rept("|",1),,2^99),"|",1,0))))





          • query replaces join and have no limits


          • trim is needed because query creates spaces at the end of each line.
