    spilt date and time to new columns

    Hi
    Could you please help me with the following code to split the date and time from selection to two separate adjutant columns?
    The code is working fine but I know that there a room for improvement instead of duplicating the same code. But I'm not much sure of it using the arrays.
    Thanks, in advance.

    Sub DateTime()
    Dim myVals As Variant, y As Variant
    Dim i As Long
    
    
    myVals = Selection.Value2
    On Error Resume Next
    For i = 1 To UBound(myVals)
        y = Split(myVals(i, 1))
        myVals(i, 1) = Format(y(0), "dd/mmm/yyyy")
    Next i
    ActiveCell.EntireColumn.Offset(0, 1).Insert
    Selection.Offset(, 1).Value = myVals
    Erase myVals
    
    
    myVals = Selection.Value2
    On Error Resume Next
    For i = 1 To UBound(myVals)
        y = Split(myVals(i, 1))
        myVals(i, 1) = Format(y(1), "hh:mm AM/PM")
    Next i
    ActiveCell.EntireColumn.Offset(0, 2).Insert
    Selection.Offset(, 2).Value = myVals
    
    
    End Sub

    Hi! this works for me, how do u like it?

    Sub DateTime2()
    Dim myVals As Variant
    Dim i As Long
    Dim Datestr As String, Timestr As String
    Columns(ActiveCell.Column + 1).Resize(, 2).Insert
     '2 inserted columns' format-> string
    Selection.Offset(0, 1).Resize(, 2).NumberFormatLocal = "@" 'need to change this @ to a normal one(I changed this due to post error)
    myVals = Selection.Value2
    For i = 1 To UBound(myVals)
        Datestr = Format(myVals(i, 1), "dd/mmm/yyyy")
        Timestr = Format(myVals(i, 1), "hh:mm AM/PM")
        Selection.Item(i).Offset(0, 1) = Datestr   'the selection has to be 1 column
        Selection.Item(i).Offset(0, 2) = Timestr   'the selection has to be 1 column
    Next i
    End Sub

    you can just copy the cells to new cells (two cells for date and time).
    Change the Format of the first cell to Date and the other as Time.

    Sub SplitLongDate()Dim D As Range, i As Long
    Dim H As Integer, M As Integer, S As Integer
    
    
        For i = 2 To Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
            Set D = Range("A" & i)
            If D = "" Then Exit Sub
            D.Offset(0, 1).Resize(1, 2) = Split(D, " ")
            H = Hour(D): M = Minute(D): S = Second(D)
            D.Offset(0, 2) = H & ":" & M & ":" & S
            D.Offset(0, 2).NumberFormat = "hh:mm:ss"
        Next i
        
    End Sub

    in reality, date/time has Always the Date portion. if you strip the date portion, still it has the date on it (even day 1).
    Logit has code, but see, he is also formatting it to appear as if there is No Date part.

    Thanks Logit
    But the array formula in my original post works faster than the looping of each cell.
    I was actually looking for a guidance to simplify the code instead of duplicating the code the way i have written
