    Moving parts of a sentence to different cells

    I have a list of names in excel that say:

    John Smith - Florida 2011
    John Smith - Florida 2011 - Called in/Quit

    All this information is in Column A, (nothing in the other columns) is there a way to make a formula to split this data up so that in one column it reads as follows:
    Column:
    A- John Smith B- Florida C-2011 D- any data after 2011, names have notes after the year

    I want the data to be copied down if possible I have about 100 pages of names and don’t want to do this manually by coping and pasting

    I hope this makes sense, thanks for your help.
    The two examples are how the data might appear.
