    Pulling 2 pieces from the text variable and creating 2 variables separately?

    Hi Forum,
    I have an Excel dataset with one variable called "Text" with several hudred observations.

    Obs Text
    1 As on June 20, 2017 balance was $50,277.58 USD (share price is low $106.74)
    2 As on August 4, 2017 balance was $52,111 USD (share price is low $108.64)
    3 As on Sep 27, 2017 balance was $54,205.80 USD (share price is low $108.92)


    Q:
    I want to pull the date piece in the above "Text" variable and create a separate variable called "Var_1".
    Also I want to pull the USD values pieces and create a separate vaiable called "Var_2".

    Please see the attahced Excel file for a clearer view.

    So, far I have been extracting the two pieces and creating the two vairalbes manually which is strenous and error prone.

    Would appreciate if you could help me to automate the process.
    Thanks
