Split columns with SPLIT():
1. Create at least two columns next to the column with the data you want to split. You can do so, click on the header (A, B, C, etc.). Then click the little triangle and select “Insert 1 right”. Repeat to create a second free column.
2. In the first free column, write =SPLIT(B1,"-"), with B1 being the cell you want to split and - the character you want the cell to split on. (If you see the error #REF! in your cell, you’ll need to create more columns.)
3. To apply the changes to the cells below, drag down the blue square in the bottom right of the selected cell(s). Double-click on the blue square to fill all remaining cells.
Extract content from columns with LEFT():
1. Insert a new column. (Or two. Or three! As many as you need.)
2. In the new column(s), write
=LEFT(B1,2) to extract the first 2 characters of the cell B1.
=RIGHT(B1,8) to extract the last 8 characters of the cell B1.
=MID(B1,4,2) to extract the 2 characters following the 4th character in B1.
3. To apply the changes to the cells below, drag down the blue square.

Select the cells that you want to extract characters, click Kutools > Text > Extract Text. 2. In the popping Extract Text dialog, under Extract by location tab, go to the before the text and after the text options to specify the setting as you need.. Before the text: extract substrings before the entered character (s).
Greeting,
James
