Default Splitting Column Data into 2 fields

Hi All,

I have a column that recieves date and time data in the following format:
01/03/2006 16:00:00 (mm/dd/yyyy hh:mm:ss)

It is causing me some troubles, namely in calculating elapsed time between 2
data points because Excel doesn't seem to like the format the data comes in
and recognizes it as text instead of a date.

Is there a way to split this into 2 columns, one for date the other for
time, (Sort of a reverse concatate?) and is this my best course of action or
is there a more efficient solution to this?

Thanks kindly!
Kevin
