Good Sirs & Madams:

Please help me with my excel question. Thank you in advance.

1002bat
2003cat
3009dog
4005frog
5003snake

I want to take single cell data and split the contents into multiple

cells.

"1002bat" would become "100", "2", "Bat".

The way our information is "imported" into excel results in the
concatenation of data that would be useful to be split.

Is there a macro that can take the first "x" digits/text" of a long string
in order to accomplish this separation.

Thanks,

Sir Eric
