If your phone numbers are in column A then column B gets the code with

Column C gets the phone number with

I have a list of phone numbers in one column and I need to separate
the bit before the space from the bit after it. e.g. 0 0 01444 831918
etc So I need to extract the 01444 before the space into column
Telephone area code and 831918 into telephone. Can someone please
advise? Thanks Himani- Hide quoted text -

Thank you very much. It works perfectly. Would it be possible to
explain the syntax at all?
