the complete process for taking your data, and making the above sheet, took me, 5  minutes.  I copied your post, and pasted it into a notepad, then saved it where i could remember where it was!

Then I opened Excel, and selected Data> Get External data> text file.  Then browsed to where I saved the text file from step 3.

Viola!
