Default WITHIN CELL, PARSE END OF TEXT, START OF NUMBER

If your data is in Col A
then enter this in B1
=MATCH(TRUE,ISNUMBER(1*MID(A1,ROW($1:$255),1)),0)
and press CTRL-SHIFT-ENTER

this will give you the position of first number in the string

Then you can use
=Left(A1,B1-1) to get the text string

=MID(A1,B1,Len(A1)-B1+1) to get the numbers

You can then split the numbers on the blank in between by Data-Text to
columns

Any suggestions on parsing data as below. I have a long list.
The one thing they all share in common is that they begin with text and end
with two numbers. Spaces can be anywhere within.
