Hi Experts,

I need a combined formula to extract the 3 text (date, month & year) from a string. the delimiters could be space, comma, - and /. can we manage this in one single formula?

I've listed down few examples below.....the date would be entered in cell A1 and basis the delimiters, the 3 output should be updated in 3 columns

Inputs Outputs that i need in 3 columns

Output in col B Output in col C output in col D
03.05.22 03 05 22
22/04/2022 22 04 2022
06-23-2021 06 23 2021
2022 04 01 2022 04 01

Your samples would be much easier to understand/copy/use if you provided them with XL2BB

Those outputs look strange (order)to me but this seems to produce them
