converting text to columns
 

I have a column of dates that have been imported from a CSV file. The format
is month year (209, 1112, 1211, etc.). I need to separate the month and year
into separate columns using "converting text to columns." However, because
some of the numbers are only 3 digits, I can't separate using fix width and
it is not delimited. In excel, the column is right justified, but when using
the separating tool, it looks left justified. Help.

After importing (in Col A) use this in B1 to get the month
=MID(A1,1,LEN(A1)-2)

and this in C1 to get the year
=Right(A1,2)
