Default find the last occurance of a character in a cell

I can use the Find function to find the 1st occurance of a charater in
a cell. But, how to i find the last occurence of a character. in this
case, the i am looking for " ", or <space. The length of the string
can vary, and the number of spaces can vary also.
example:
"Get dog food 55"
There are 14 spaces (1+1+12). i am intersted in the location of the
last, or 14th, space, the one that precedes the number 5


Thanks,

Tonso
