dvandaniker is an unknown quantity at this point
separate text and numbers

I need help creating a formula to separate the text from the numbers into 2 separate columns.

Examples are:
A1= Angel Romero 260.00
A2= Wieben Chiropractic Clinic 74.00
A3= R Ricardo Ramirez Dds 340.00

The 'Text to Column' function does not work because there is no fixed width and no deliminater. To add in a deliminater, like a "\", is an option but there are thousands of cells to do this to.

As you can see, using LEFT, RIGHT and MID functions become tricky since the deliminater would be a "space" but there are often several "spaces" in the string of characters.

Is there a way to SEARCH or FIND the first number and let that be the deliminater?

Thanks, Derek
