I need to separate the date from the time using text to columns. Here's the original above in the leftmost column. The data is in Custom number format mm\dd\yyyy h\mm AM/PM
When I use text to columns delimited here is how it splits out (I will just show you the first row)
01/18/2019 12:00 AM in column A
01/00/1900 5:30 AM in column B
As you can see it keeps the date and time together but changes the time to 12:00 AM in column A and puts yet again another date and time in column B as 01/00/1900 5:30 AM
The net result is the correct date in col A and the correct time in col B but it won't split the date from the time. I need the date in one column and the time in another column.
Any ideas without using VBA? Thank you
 

Excel Facts

Copy formula down without changing references
If you have =SUM(F2:F49) in F50; type Alt+' in F51 to copy =SUM(F2:F49) to F51, leaving the formula in edit mode. Change SUM to COUNT.
after text2columns format col A as short date and col B as time (or Custom Format: h:mm AM/PM)
