Text Parsing with uneven lengths
I have cells that contain data such as:
General Motors 22779 United States of America 1449 Carlsbad 712 Under 21 Children 12 I would like to parse the numbers at the end of each cell. Each number can be different lengths and the text preceding the number can be different lengths, too. Any ideas? |
