Separates Columns

I want to separate dates in the two different columns like :-

 

Date1                               Date 2

01-JUL-21                       31-JUL-21

 

I thing I can think of is trim fn but problem here is it will work fine for this particular month but when I get next month data suppose for August I don't think this will for it.

What can be the best way for this to workout?

Easiest way would be to use ReGex and tokenise:

@sgaryali,

 

You can use LEFT and Right functions to do that :

Hi @sgaryali 

 

My take on this using Regex tool parse mode.
