Thumbs up Answer: Separate address numbers from street name

Hi Walt,

No problem, I can definitely help you with that. Here are the steps to separate the address numbers from the street name in Excel:
  1. Insert two new columns to the right of your existing column. You can do this by right-clicking on the column header to the right of your existing column and selecting "Insert."
  2. In the first new column, enter the following formula: =LEFT(A1,FIND(" ",A1)-1)
    Note: Replace "A1" with the cell reference of the first address in your existing column.
  3. This formula will extract the leftmost characters from the address until it reaches the first space, which should be the street number.
  4. In the second new column, enter the following formula: =RIGHT(A1,LEN(A1)-FIND(" ",A1))
    Note: Replace "A1" with the cell reference of the first address in your existing column.
  5. This formula will extract the rightmost characters from the address starting from the first space, which should be the street name.
  6. Copy and paste these formulas down the entire column to apply them to all of the addresses in your database.

That's it! You should now have two new columns with the street numbers and street names separated from the original address column. Let me know if you have any questions or if there's anything else I can help you with.

Best regards,
[Your Name]
