    Cannot separate data from one cell to multiple cells

    I have a spreadsheet with approximately 115,000 rows that contains a column of information like what appears below. What I need to do is to take the number before the first _ and put it in a column in a spreadsheet, then take the number following the "_" and put it in another column, then take the number following the next _ and put it in a third column. Then for instances like the 10th row below, then take the next _ and put the numbers following that into a column.

    0010030060000_ 4_ 0_ _
    0010030060000_ 5_ 0_ _
    0010150010000_ 4_ 0_ _
    0010150010000_ 4_ 1_ _
    0010150020000_ 3_ 0_ _
    0010150020000_ 3_ 2_ _
    0010150020000_ 3_ 1_ _
    0010150020000_ 4_ 0_ _
    0010150020000_ 4_ 1_ _
    0010301847000_ST_4_1_ _
    00101053_3_1_ _
    01331843_2_0_ _


    So, the results should look something like this:
