Like Employee Name and Employee Code, Customer Name and Customer Number, etc. If the answer is Yes and you want to learn how to separate them using  formula  then this post is definitely for you. This type of data comes into three flavours: 1) Text and Number (Sujeet123) 2) Number and Text (123Sujeet) 3) Text and Numbers tangled (S1u2j3e4e5t6, 1s2u3j4e5e6t) We can separate the first 2 types using the formula and for 3rd type, we need to write a few lines of code (Macro). Let's start with the First one: 1) Text and Number (Sujeet123) Ex-1 Let's assume that  Cell A2  holds Sujeet123 in Sheet1. we will use the below formula with the Left and Right function to separate the Text and Number . =Min(find({01,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9},A2&"0123456789")) The above formula will give us the starting position of the first Number.
