Default Seperate text and numbers in a column?

Hi PJ,

thanks, but unfortunately this is not the case. The street names could also
consists out of 2,3 or even more words.

KR,

Hi

If all your addresses have the same format as your two examples, ie
text-space-number, you can use the Text to Columns feature. Select the
addresses and in the toolbar click on Data. Go to Text to Columns... and in
step1 of the wizard make sure Delimited is checked. Then in step 2 check
Space as the delimiter and Finish.

NB I am using Excel 2003.

Hi,

could anyone help me out with the following:

I've got a column which contains addresses (e.g. A1 = mountainroad 17 , A2
= mainstreet 168a , etc.) In order to work with this data I will need to
seperate the streetnames from the housenumbers. Would anyone have a
suggestion on how to do this?

As there are many lines, it takes quite some time to do this manually.

KR,

Lucas
