    Separate names and number

    Hello,
    I need to separate numbers from names. However, there are no spaces between the name and numbers. The numbers are with or without dashes.

    Please see attached spreadsheet.

    Column A is the original output
    Columns B & C is my desired results

    Thank you in advance!

    Carol

    Thank you ChemistB.

    I trimmed the original cell before implementing the two formulas. I was able to get the first formula to work on my worksheet, but not the second one.

    No, Carol. It is not the same at all.

    I wonder why my second formula didn't work.
