What is the shortcut key for Format Selection?
Ctrl+1 (the number one) will open the Format dialog for whatever is selected.

This is a simple column Split in Power Query. Here is the Mcode for that exercise

Code: 
let
    Source = Excel.CurrentWorkbook(){[Name="Table1"]}[Content],
    #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"Invoice Number", type text}}),
    #"Split Column by Delimiter" = Table.SplitColumn(#"Changed Type", "Invoice Number", Splitter.SplitTextByEachDelimiter({"/"}, QuoteStyle.Csv, true), {"Invoice Number.1", "Invoice Number.2"}),
    #"Changed Type1" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(#"Split Column by Delimiter",{{"Invoice Number.1", type text}, {"Invoice Number.2", type text}}),
    #"Renamed Columns" = Table.RenameColumns(#"Changed Type1",{{"Invoice Number.2", "DATE"}}),
    #"Trimmed Text" = Table.TransformColumns(#"Renamed Columns",{{"DATE", Text.Trim, type text}})
in
    #"Trimmed Text"

first: there is Excel 2007
second: enough Split by " / " (space/space) :)

as example:
Code: 
let
    Source = Excel.CurrentWorkbook(){[Name="Table3"]}[Content],
    Split = Table.SplitColumn(Source, "Invoice Number", Splitter.SplitTextByDelimiter(" / ", QuoteStyle.Csv), {"Invoice Number", "Date"}),
    Type = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Split,{{"Invoice Number", type text}, {"Date", type date}})
in
    Type
