    depending on your layout you can use Text To Column option

    on way with text in a1
    in b1 =LEFT(A1,FIND("+",A1)-1)
    in c1 =MID(A1,FIND("+",A1),LEN(A1)-LEN(B1&D1))
    in d1 =MID(A1,FIND("=",A1),255)
    or going along with text to columns
    use find replace
    first find + replace ^+
    then find = replace^=
    then data/text to columns/delimited
    use ^ in other as delimiter click next
    you'll see your 3 fields click on the top of each and change from general to text by choosing the text option in column data format on the right hand side (if you don't change to text the field that has + in will return a value error) click finish
