Default separating alpha numeric vlue

Try this:

With
A1: (text, with numbers before or after)

B1: =SUBSTITUTE(A1,C1,"")
C1: (in sections for readability)
=LOOKUP(99^99,--("0"&MID(A1,MIN(
SEARCH({0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9},A1&"0123456789")),
ROW($1:$10000))))

If
A1: ABC876
or
A1: 876ABC

Then, either way...
B1 returns: ABC
C1 returns 876

Note: If there are NO numbers in the string, Col_C returns a zero.

Does that help?

Try this:

B1: =LEFT(A1,MIN(FIND({0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9},A1&"012345 6789"))-1)
C1: =SUBSTITUTE(A1,B1,"")

If A1: ABC876
Then
B1 returns: ABC
C1 returns 876

Is that something you can work with?
Post back if you have more questions.
