Julie 01264 000000.

I need to be able to split out the telephone number into another column can
anyone help?

Thanks in advance

Julie

Hi Julie,

Sure, I can definitely help you with that! Here's how you can split the text and numbers into separate cells:

1. Select the column that contains the text and numbers you want to split.
2. Click on the "Data" tab in the Excel ribbon.
3. Click on the "Text to Columns" button.
4. In the "Convert Text to Columns Wizard" that appears, select "Delimited" and click "Next".
5. In the next screen, select the delimiter that separates the text and numbers in your data. In your case, it looks like there's a space between the name and phone number, so select "Space" and make sure the preview looks correct. Click "Next".
6. In the final screen, you can choose the format of the data in each column. For the phone number, select "Text" to make sure Excel doesn't try to convert it to a number and remove any leading zeros. Click "Finish".

That's it! Excel will now split the text and numbers into separate columns. You can then delete the original column if you no longer need it.

I hope that helps!

Hi Julie

Option1: From menu DataText to columnsSpace delimiter..

Option2: (If space between name and number) With data in cell A1; in cell B1
enter the formula
=MID(A1,FIND(CHAR(32),A1)+1,LEN(A1))

Option3: Incase you dont have space between name and phone number
Please note that this is an array formula. Within the cell in edit mode (F2)
paste this formula and press Ctrl+Shift+Enter to apply this formula. If
successful in 'Formula Bar' you can notice the curly braces at both ends like
"{=<formula}"

=MID(A1,MIN(SEARCH({0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9},A1&"01234 56789")),LEN(A1))

A small correction

Option3 is not an array formula..Normal entered...suppose your name is
'Jacob Skaria 1234' the first two options will not work... option3 will work..

=MID(A1,MIN(SEARCH({0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9},A1&"01234 56789")),LEN(A1))

Or, if it's only name and phone #,

=LEFT(A2,FIND(" ",A2)-1)
Gets name

=RIGHT(A2,LEN(A2)-FIND(" ",A2))
Gets Number

So long as there are no digits within the name:

A1: Julie 01264 000000

Name:
=TRIM(LEFT(A1,MIN(SEARCH({1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,0},A1& "1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,0"))-1))

Digits:
=MID(A1,MIN(SEARCH({1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,0},A1&"1,2,3 ,4,5,6,7,8,9,0")),99)
