Default Text to Columns Code

You didn't specify the column so I used D:D. Change this as necessary

I haven't messed with much code lately and don't know where to begin to get
this to run. Am I missing something I need to add?

Here is a more complete solution

Sub fixcolumn()

firstcol = "D:D"
For Each cell In Columns(firstcol)
If cell < "" Then
First_Underscore = InStr(cell, "_")
Second_Underscore = InStr(First_Underscore + 1, cell, "_")
If Second_Underscore 0 Then
FirstWord = Left(cell, Second_Underscore - 1)
SecondWord = Mid(cell, Second_Underscore + 1)
cell = FirstWord
cell.Offset(0, 1) = SecondWord
End If
End If
Next cell

I need to write code for Text to Columns for the cells I select and they
would always be in the same column, but could be any column. Each cell
contains one or more underscores, but I need it split up at the second
underscore. I don't have a clue on how to write this, can you help?
Example starting with would be:
First-Set-Of-Words_SecondSet_ThirdSet
I need:
First Column Second Column
First-Set-Of-Words_SecondSet ThirdSet
I need this split between the second and third set dropping the second
underscore too and to remain as text format.
