Hi all,
I have a column with over 400 rows each cell (has # represents number) ######## three spaces and then text up to 60 characters. I want to split them number and text into 2 separate columns where the spaces are.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Example 12345678 Here starts the text blah blah blah
Thanks bunches!!!
Best way to help you is to upload an example workbook and show what the data should look like with an example of raw data.
Okay I attached a workbook with 2 sheets the raw data and what I want to see.

You have a mixed type of data in Column B. Some of the data has only text and no numbers. How, it at all are those to be split. You have only shown an example for the cell with a combination of numbers and text.
