In B1, use
=LEFT(A1,MIN(IF(ISERROR(1*(MID(A1,ROW(INDIRECT("A1 :A"&LEN(A1))),1))),ROW(IND
IRECT("A1:A"&LEN(A1))),255))-1)
which is an array formula, so commit with Ctrl-Shift-Enter
In C1,
=SUBSTITUTE(A1,B1,"")
and copy doen

Hello and thanks in advance -
I have a column of room numbers with [alphas] mixed in as seen below.
A
100
101D
103F
104
1004E
Note that the numeric values are sometimes in the thousand range. I need
to
create a column B where the numeric value of the room number will be split
up
from column C, the alpha, as below;
A B C
100 100
101D 101 D
103F 103 F
104 104
1004E 1004 E
Matt
