    is there a way to split a data cell into two cells

    I have a dropdown menu in a particular cell whose data always looks like this: 20/30, 400/600, 1000/1000 e.t.c I would like the number before the "/" to be fed into one cell and the numebr after the "/" fed into another cell.

    Example: original cell D4 has value "500/1000" and I would like 500 to feed into M4 and 1000 to feed into N4.

    I hope one of you gurus can help me with this. Thanks in advance for the help.

    in M4:

    =IF(D4="","",LEFT(D4,FIND("/",D4)-1))

    in N4,

    =IF(D4="","",MID(D4,FIND("/",D4)+1,10))
    Where there is a will there are many ways.
