    You can use MID function to get a fixed number of characters from another cell, so with data in A1 you can get the first 2 characters with

    =MID(A1,1,2)

    and characters 7 to 10 with

    =MID(A1,7,4)

    it's also possible to use LEFT function for the first one........

    Since this is a date, you can also use:

    Cell #2: =MONTH(Cell #1)
    Cell #3: =YEAR(Cell #1)
