    How to separate numerics from names to create a new column

    Hi, I need to separate the numerics from the names. The numerical value has to be arrived in a new cell.

    Example:

    Column A contains the details like-"Samson45"

    Need to separate the numerical from the name.

    Pls help me with the excel function.

    Thanks!

    If your name is in A1, then in B1 enter:

    =TRIM(LEFT(A1,MIN(SEARCH({1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,0},A1& "1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,0"))-1))

    In C1 enter:

    =MID(A1,MIN(SEARCH({0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9},A1&"01234 56789")),LEN(A1))

    When i entered the above formula, i get one "Deepak" and 5]

    I need "Deepak Balakrishnan" and [5] to be in seperate cells.

    Should the brackets be included, or can it be just the #?

    How about posting SEVERAL representative samples so we can see if there's a common pattern that we can use to get the result.
