How can i split some symbol into many cells ?

[kee149]

For example, cell A1, I have "12/3/2006" I wanna split "/" and then put
each value into A2, A3, and A4.

So, when I write the code A1, B1, C1, and so on. they will split the
value and put into each cell.

A1 = (12/3/2006) ===> A2 = 12, A3 = 2, A4 = 2006
....

How can I do this ?

One other way

A2 = Month(A1)
A3 = Day(A1)
A4 = Year(A1)
