Hi,

I have an excel spreadsheet. In thes spreadsheet I have columns with street number and street name in one cell. I need create a new column that will remove the number without going into each cell and deleting the number. Please help with maybe some type of "if statement" or anything that will help.

Thank you so much for your help.

Thank You

You can just take everything to the left of the first space to return the street number, then everything to the right of the first space to return the street name.

Street Number:
[COLOR=blue white]=LEFT(A1,FIND(" ",A1)-1)[/color]

Street Name:
[COLOR=blue white]=RIGHT(A1,LEN(A1)-FIND(" ",A1))[/color]
