Hi,

Enter a formula in B1:

=SUBSTITUTE(A1,C1,)

Enter a formula in C1:

=MID(A1,MIN(IF(ISERROR(FIND({1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,0}, A1)),"",
FIND({1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,0},A1))),MAX(IF(ISERROR(FI ND(
{1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,0},A1)),"",FIND({1,2,3,4,5,6,7, 8,9,0},
A1)))-MIN(IF(ISERROR(FIND({1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,0},A1)),"",
FIND({1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,0},A1)))+1)

Then drag and fill down.

Doesn't work for aa11bb22 but then there wasn't
a proper definition of the data to be used. If there is
only one contiguous area of digits then it works fine.

In any case the poster wanted digits in one cell and
letters in another cell, and there were two sets of
letters in the example.

When things get complicated I don't have the patience
to code a worksheet function instead of a user defined function.
Some UDFs using Regular Expressions which can be adapted
can be found in
