It's not a number, so format isn't going to change it. You're going to have
to use
1) an additional cell and a formula, or
2) VBA code

route 1) assuming the values always look like your example, and assuming the
entry is in A1

=left(A1,1)&" "&mid(A1,2,3)&" "&mid(A1,5,2)&" "&right(A1,4)

let us know if you want to tackle the VBA side

Thank You for your time.

Format/Cells/Number/Custom Type: "E "000 "EQ "0000

Then, in the cell, enter: 6051212

It will then display: E 605 EQ 1212
