There is a feature of Excel call text to columns. Pull-down:

Tools Text to Columns...

Tell the wizard that the info is delimited and that the space is the
delimiter.
The wizard will split that data into separate cells. Just pick the cell
with the date.

I have cells with alphanumeric data, including spaces, e.g, "Accepted by
William A Bell at 4/11/2005 6:40:34 PM" which I need just the month, day, and
year information extracted.

I have found some information related to extracting numeric data but it does
cover the "spaces" issue.

Does anyone know how to accomplish this? Can it be accomplished?
Appreciate any assistance and expertise you can offer.
