How to diffrentiate Text & number from a single cell????
 

If the addresses are consistent with a number
in front as the first word, you can use
SEPTERM macro at
Separate first word (term) from remainder of cell (#septerm)
http://www.mvps.org/dmcritchie/excel/join.htm#septerm

A worksheet solution is also provided, but it requires the original
plus two more columns, and then requires clean up later. The macro
simply requires the addition of an empty column to the right.

Without using other cells, you could just use Data TextToColumns using
SPACE for the delimiter and choosing not to import the columns with
text..........
