Default Text to Columns


I am having a problem with "Text to Columns". I have a column which
includes information which is separated by "/". However, the "/" is not
included in every row of the column. i.e. 1 row in the column contains
"ADMIN1/232322" and that's easy to make into two columns, however in
row 2 I have "Whatever". This information goes into the left column
where "ADMIN1" would be, but I need it to go into the right column
where "232322" would be.
Is there a way of me getting this information into the correct column?

Didn't the suggestions from Friday work?
