    Question Extract texts from cell to multiple cells?

    Hi ExcelForumians, it's been a while since I had forgotten my password.

    Anyway, despite the title, I have no clue of what I'm actually doing.

    For some reasons, I have got myself a sheet (Sheet1) with few hundreds of cells (A2: A) filled with texts that look like this.

    10/02/2018
    Show/S45/Paid
    Res/Jan18/2018
    NoShow/F01/Paid
    RoS/S13,S14,S15/Paid
    And many more.

    Here is the problem. What I have to do is extract them into three cells like this.

    (B2)10 (C2)02 (D2)2018
    (B3)Show (C3)S45 (D3)Paid
    (B4)Res (C4)Jan18 (D4)2018
    (B5)NoShow (C5)F01 (D5)Paid
    (B6)RoS (C6)S13,S14,S15 (D6)Paid

    As you may see. The "/" is used to divide texts into 3 parts. And I had this done by hands for almost thousand cells by now.
    Help me, please.

    Heres a pic.

    There is an Text to columns option under the Data menu.

    there you can select a separator value and the data will be separated into different columns for all selected cells of column A
