Default A Difficult Unconcatinate Problem

Hi,

I have tried to solve this problem using a mixture of text functions such as
RIGHT, LEN, LEFT, FIND etc. However, am still stuck. Would appreciate any
suggestions.

I'm trying to split out the following data stored in a single column into
three columns: Country, Data Value and Source.

Angola 13,294,000 Source: ibid.
Anguilla 13,000 Source: ibid.
Antigua and Barbuda 76,000 Source: ibid.
Argentina 37,880,000 Source: ibid.
Armenia 3,206,000 Source: ibid.
Aruba 94,000 Source: ibid.
Australia 20,125,000 Source: ibid.

The problem I'm having relates to the fact that some countries contain more
than one word, so I can't just search for the first " ". I think the answer
is to somehow detect the first instance of a numeric value, but I have no
idea how to do this.

Thanks,
RA
