Hello,

I am trying to develop a formula that will extract data from a cell that has data in the below format

'VRG-F-119-Ground Floor _18-Sep-2009_01.56.25--01.57.31_001.nvf'

I am trying to breakout that data in different columns so that it can be put into a pivot table format for analysis.

i.e. date '18-Sep-2009' would be one column breakout, 'VRG-F-119-Ground Floor' would be another breakout.

with the '_'in between all the data I don't know how to get Excel to register the data as separate sections.

If you have any suggestions, thank you for your help
