Default split text and numbers into separate cells

A small correction

Option3 is not an array formula..Normal entered...suppose your name is
'Jacob Skaria 1234' the first two options will not work... option3 will work..

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

Hi Julie

Option1: From menu DataText to columnsSpace delimiter..

Option2: (If space between name and number) With data in cell A1; in cell B1
enter the formula
=MID(A1,FIND(CHAR(32),A1)+1,LEN(A1))

Option3: Incase you dont have space between name and phone number
Please note that this is an array formula. Within the cell in edit mode (F2)
paste this formula and press Ctrl+Shift+Enter to apply this formula. If
successful in 'Formula Bar' you can notice the curly braces at both ends like
"{=<formula}"

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