Default Is there a way to separate into own cells?

Assuming all of your data follows the same format as your example, these
formulas should work:

=SUBSTITUTE(LEFT(A1,12),"-","")

=MID(A1,FIND(" ",A1)+1,FIND("~",SUBSTITUTE(A1,"
","~",LEN(A1)-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(A1," ",""))))-FIND(" ",A1)-1)&",
"&MID(A1,FIND("/",A1)+1,FIND(" ",A1)-FIND("/",A1)-1)

=RIGHT(A1,7)

HTH,

Is it possible to "tweak" the excel cell info from ONE cell into three,
appearing as such listed above?
