Assuming your data is in Col A and house number and street names are
separated by a space then use this in B1
=LEFT(A1,FIND(" ",A1)-1) to get house no
and this in C1
=RIGHT(A1,LEN(A1)-FIND(" ",A1)) to get street name
and copy donw

Select the column
Go to Data text to columns
use space as delimiter
OK

How many columns does the OP want the street name split into if it has
spaces in it?
I think I'd stick with Sheeloo's suggestion.
