Hi,

See the sample file

1. By subfield command like

          =Subfield(ColA,'/',1)

          =Subfield(ColA,'/',2)

          =Subfield(ColA,'/',3)

2. By  Left( ), Mid( ) and Right( ) command you are able to break fields.

          =Left(ColA,10)

          =Mid(ColA,12,11)

          =Right(ColA,10)

Use subfield:
subfield(Field, '/')

The details depend on what you want to get...

Hi ..

You can use the SUBFIELD function

Like: Subfield(field,'/',1) is the first part
        Subfield(field,'/',2) is the second part ... and so on
