Default How to 'split' data from 1 column into 2??

You will nee to use a couple of CSE functions.

This will give you the text in each cell:
=IF(A1="","",LEFT(A1,MIN(FIND({0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 },A1&"0123456789"))-1))

Enter with Ctrl+Shift+Enter, not just enter.

This will give you the numbers in each cell:
=IF(A1="","",RIGHT(A1,LEN(A1)-MIN(FIND({0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9},A1&"0123456789"))+1 ))

Again, enter with Ctrl+Shift+Enter, not just enter,

HTH,

Hi!

Can anyone help me with a formula for Excel 2003 to split data from 1 column
into 2?

Data Examples:
COUN1234
PS3524
PSY5002

I want to have a formula to split the alpha data from the numeric data. As
you can see, the alpha data is of varying lengths.

Thanks ahead of time for anyone who can assist with this!
