Hello,
assuming that the date will always be only 5 characters but also assuming that the price will not always be three digits before the decimal point, I think you'll need a different logic for the price column.
So, for the date
=LEFT(A1,5)
For the price (assuming that there will always be a decimal point, like 0.99, get the string starting after the first blank and up to two characters after the first dot.
=MID(A1,FIND(" ",A1)+1,FIND(".",A1)-FIND( " ",A1)+2)+0
For the description: get the string that starts 4 characters after the first dot
=MID(A1,FIND(".",A1)+4,999 9)
Note that depending on your regional settings you may need to replace the comma with a semicolon.

Really strange. I'm sending an Excel to you. I use Excel in spanish so my names on the formulas are not the same, maybe there is a little difference with the translation I made. Please see if the Excel attached is working on your side.

Thanks for teaching me to expand the area.
=LEFT(A1;5)
put on C1 cell this formula:
=MID(A1;7;6)
put on D1 cell this formula:
=MID(A1;14;9999)
Then select cells B1 to D1 and expand them to last row you have data.
Regards.
