I want to be able to extract the quantity (the number before the comma) and amount (the numbers after the comma. The info is downloaded from a mainframe system in a text file. Example:

,00000000000000004.0000,0000000000040.00,

I want to be able to strip out 4.0 for quantity and 40.00 for amount. Utilizing the left and right functions will take forever. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
 

Excel Facts

How to total the visible cells?
From the first blank cell below a filtered data set, press Alt+=. Instead of SUM, you will get SUBTOTAL(9,)
How about just using Data>Text to columns , with comma as the delimiter? Then format the two columns you'll be left with as you want.
