What would be the formula to separate the street portion then, so I can have
both in separate boxes, this strips it & puts the numbers in a new field, but
the original field still has the number & street name & not just street name.
Remember, when you post a question, you should post your entire question, and
not have constant follow-ups. Also, when reading responses, you should be
aware that some people are answering the same question, and not necessarily
reading (or even seeing) your follow-up questions.
Assuming your data is in the form of #### Street name, and this is in A1:
B1: =LEFT(A1,FIND(" ",A1,1)-1)
C1: =RIGHT(A1,LEN(A1)-FIND(" ",A1,1))
John is quite right that you need to be complete with your question.
The reason that my formula was longer than John's is that I tried to do some
error trapping for cases with no number, or no spaces in the string. You
can adjust the formula to suit your own requirements.
Oh, I agree with error trapping. I was more referring to the fact that your
formula 'got the same result' as Kevin B's formula did, when in fact you were
responding to the same question as Kevin B, and not to the OP follow up to
Kevin B.
