I have data in the format

I'll have to split this data into 

 

INCDate-TimeAgent NameNotes
INC12345604-Mar-2023 11:58:32Firstname Lastname1Monitoring the server.
INC12345606-Mar-2023 07:49:24Firstname Lastname2Promoted to a major incident. Waiting for Vendor.

 

 

Please advise on how to achieve this 

 

Thanks!

- split column by delimiter (notice that the delimiter used is " - " with a space before and one after)

@serpiva64  - Thank you for the quick response 

 

Usually, I'll have multiple statements within a single work notes 

 

I think "." cannot be used as demiliter to rows 

 

I have updated the sample table
