Split string into multiple columns in Excel

I am attempting to take the following string:
"companyName - accountName"
and transpose it to multiple columns so it reads like this
"companyName" "accountName" in separate columns

Can some help educate me about the formula I would use to do such a thing?!

Answer:

In column A2 type =LEFT(A1;FIND("-";A1)-1)  and in A3 type =RIGHT(A1;LEN(A1)-FIND("-";A1))

(for formulas, depending on your country, you might have to change ; with , or the opposite
