@thetraininglady - There is no need for using another workbook, copy pasting, etc...
In the last window of the Txt to column wizard, you can select the columns you do not wish to import.
So there will only be one left which will replace the original without disturbing the rest

If it is always between the 3rd and 4th forward slashes, this does it also I think.
=TRIM(MID(A3,FIND(CHAR(1),SUBSTITUTE(A3,"/",CHAR(1),3))+1,FIND(CHAR(1),SUBSTITUTE(A3,"/",CHAR(1),4))-1-FIND(CHAR(1),SUBSTITUTE(A3,"/",CHAR(1),3))))
