I've googled this issue and have found plenty of information on how to "split text into different columns", but I want to copy+paste the text into just one column on the google sheet.



Herewith is a picture that shows what I'm getting (on the left), and what I actually need (on the right). I've tried CTRL+SHIFT+V but it doesn't work either. I did it in the past, but can't remember how.



copy+paste comparison
