Default how to extract text from formula in excel

Create at least two columns next to the column with the data you want to split.
Then click the little triangle and select “Insert 1 right”. Repeat to create a second free column.
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.)
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.

I hope this helpful!
