    Can excel recognize and split cells, who contain both cyrillic and english text

    Hello,

    Is it possible to split the text from cells, which contain part cyrillic and part english text into two separate columns?

    An example is given in the attached file - the words, which are in bold, are the input data and the words in italic is the result i'm after.

    Best regards Book1.xlsx!

    Re: Can excel recognize and split cells, who contain both cyrillic and english text

    @AlKey - your formula gave a pretty decent result. It seem it did maybe 1/2 or 2/3 of the cells correct, but couldn't do the rest for some reason. The english part consists only from the first letter, and the other part of the english text is in the column with the bulgarian text. Any idea why this happened?

    @shg, for some reason I couldn't get your formula to work in my sheet - I replaced "," with ";" and i removed spaces, but it didn't work - any suggestions?

    Thanks to both of you!

    Both formulas have to be confirmed with Ctrl+Shift+Enter, not just Enter. There was no need to remove the spaces.

    Hmm, even without removing spaces and with Ctrl + Shift + Enter, it still doesn't work

    When I open the document and press 'enable editing', the results turn into #N/A - copying the formula into my document also makes the result into #N/A

    No. ALKEY's would NOT have worked in 2003 (IFERROR) but there's no obvious reason why it shouldn't work in 2016. Do you know how to use Formulas/evaluate formulae?? Go through it and post a screenshot of the FIRST dialogue box where you see #N/A... and maybe the next one, too (for luck!!).

    Can you also post a bit of your own file after applying Alkey's formula?

    When I open Book1, I see #N/A UNTIL I enable editing and then it looks FINE!!!

    There are no formulae in the other file.

    Alkey's file looks fine to me (only a quick glance as it's time to eat!!).

    The second version of AlKey's formula worked pretty well - with some minor adjustments, which I'll make manually, the document will be perfect. Thanks to all of you for the help!
