We received a large Excel file that contains text in one field that's useless as entered. What we've been trying to do, without much success(!), is create formula(s) to break the text down into separate fields.
For example, in the attached "sample.xls" file, Column A has the raw data. We need to break Column A into three separate fields as shown in Columns B, C, and D. For illustration purposes I've just typed the broken down text in the first two rows to show how we'd like it to appear.
Given there's no hard & fast convention for how the data was entered initially (other than the first "/" between the names, even coming close and having to tweak manually would be a huge help.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
