Default Formula Question

Don't need a formula:
1. Select the data
2. Choose Data, Text to Columns
3. Select Delimited, Next
4. Check Space and add _ to Other, then click Next
5. Highlight each column in the Data Preview pane that you don't want and
turn on the option Do not import (Skip) and click finish.

If this helps, please click the Yes button.

Cheers,
