Answer 1

This leverages PARSENAME rather than SUBSTRING.

SELECT
   PARSENAME(Value2, 3) AS val1,
   PARSENAME(Value2, 2) AS val2,
   PARSENAME(Value2, 1) AS val3
FROM
    (
    SELECT
        REPLACE(Value, 'x', '.') AS Value2
    FROM
        MyTable
    ) T;

This code

• allows for different component value lengths
• assumes x is always the separator
• assumes always 3 components

Answer 2

SELECT SUBSTRING([VALUE],1,3) AS val1,
       SUBSTRING([VALUE],5,3) AS val2, 
       SUBSTRING([VALUE],9,3) AS val3
  FROM TABLE1
