    With your data in column A, put this in column B and copy down
    =LEFT(A1,FIND(" ",A1,1)-1)
    and this in column C and copy down
    =MID(A1,FIND(" ",A1,1)+1,99)

    Use the following formula to obtain the portion to the left of the space

    =LEFT(A1,FIND(" ",A1))

    and for the right

    =RIGHT(A1,LEN(A1)-FIND(" ",A1))

    If your data are in column A, starting from A1, enter this in B1:

    =LEFT(A1,FIND(" ",A1)-1)

    and this in C1:

    =RIGHT(A1,LEN(A1)-LEN(B1)-1)

    select B1:C1 and copy down.

    Hope I helped you.

    Thanks in advance for your feedback.

    Sounds like homework to me.

    Will your teacher mark you down since none of the suggestions here used
    "substitute"?

    Ask for extra credit since the "mid" function was used instead.<g>
