Hello,

Hi YBB,

It's always usefull to provide sample data to find a solution.

If your data is consistent and looks something like this:
A1: ABC123

You could use:
=LEFT(A1,3) to get the text.
=RIGHT(A1,3) to get the numbers.

Obviously this method will only work when the size of the text and numbers remains the same.

If there is a space between the text and number then you could use the text delimiter option.

Please provide some sample data if the above doesn't solve your query.

Best regards,
Trowa
