Thanks all. I ended up with a combination of LEFT, FIND and MID funbctions
that seem to be working for my purposes OK.

If it always separated from the text by a blank and is always at the
beginning of the string:

=LEFT(A1,FIND(" ",A1)-1)

Does anyone know of a formula (or combination of formulas) that I can use to
split cells containing combined numerical and alpha datainto 2 separate cells.

Sample Data:
123 Anywhere Dr
10 Somewhere Dr
4998 Somewhere Else Ln

I have a listing of addresses and I want to split the number part of the
address and the alpha part of the address into 2 columns for sorting
purposes. I want to sort results by street name then by number. As you can
see above, the length of the numerical part of the address can vary, it is
not fixed in length.

Thanks,
Larry

The length of the nubers can be different as show above.
