Splitting date and text into 2 columns

Hi,

 

I have this dataset as attached.

I would like to split the dates and text into 2 different columns.

 

For example, for record #2,

I want to convert from this:

Description
11/07ADPGROSS-TO-NET

 

to this:

DateDescription
11/07ADPGROSS-TO-NET
 

May I know how to go about doing this?

Note that I have fields that do not contain dates and thus would like to keep them as they are and only split those fields with dates.

Thank you!

 

Regards,

Hong En
