Excel Facts

Ambidextrous Undo
Undo last command with Ctrl+Z or Alt+Backspace. If you use the Undo icon in the QAT, open the drop-down arrow to undo up to 100 steps.
If there is always 4 "/"s in the original text like your samples then try ..

22 02 09.xlsm
AB
121-22/RFL/<10K/AS/121-22/RFL/<10K/AS/01
221-22/RFL/<10K/AS/1021-22/RFL/<10K/AS/010
Insert 0
Cell Formulas
RangeFormula
B1:B2B1=SUBSTITUTE(A1,"/","/0",4)


If your data is not as uniform as that then please give some samples that show the sort of variety that you actually have as well as the expected results (preferably with XL2BB)

REPLACE(A2,SEARCH("^",SUBSTITUTE(A2,"/","^",4)),1,"/0")

You're welcome. Thanks for the follow-up. (y)

Your formula looks fine - but now you have a shorter option. :)
