I have in A1 "CNAN6"

I want to strip it into 2 parts.

CNA

and

N6

The N6 is found using =RIGHT(A1,2) so thats easy. But how do I get the
CNA part. Also note that this is not always going to be only 5
characters long. It could be 10. BUT the last two characters will
always be split away from the rest of the string.

Thanks for the help.
