Hello Seamus,
To get the date in G2 use
=INT(C2)
and for the time in H2
=MOD(C2,1)
format in date and time format respectively

Use this formula in G2 and H2
=VALUE(LEFT(C2,9))
Format Column G into Date and Column H into Time.

There are several ways to accomplish this. I've attached one possible solution.

Using LEFT(C2,9) is a mistake, I think. That would be fine if C2 was a text value.....but it's not so by extracting the first 9 characters you are actuallt taking the date serial number (5 digits) plus decimal point and then 3 decimal places. If you use VALUE function on that you can format as a date but the underlying value still contains the decimals (effectively a time) which might cause problems if you want to do other calculations with the value returned.
INT, as per my suggestion, just takes the integer portion of C2 (the date) and MOD(C2,1) takes the decimal part (the time)
