Text to column and re-align or move text entries accordingly

Hi

 

Can someone please provide some advice on how to achieve a task?

 

Problem: I've managed to split the entries in a column into three columns with the 'text to column' tool as you can see. However, the text entries are not consistent - you can see 'Users' is present in TXT_1, TXT_2 and TXT_3.

 

Ideally, I'd want to create 3 new columns (USERS, CREDITS and UNITS) to hold their corresponding entries just as I have it in the example.

 

Text to columnNew columns 
TXT_1TXT_2TXT_3USERSCREDITSUNITS 
Credits=38800Units=1Users=6000Users=6000Credits=38800Units=1 
Credits=2000Users=356Units=1Users=356Credits=2000Units=1 
Credits=1000Units=1     
Credits=140Units=1     
Credits=200Users=50     
Credits=407Users=44     
Units=1Users=14000     
Units=8Users=150     
Credits=330Units=1     
Credits=115Users=25

Oh, Maybe I should not have used the filter.
