    Re: Break text

    If your data starts in A2 paste the below codes and drag down.

    Paste in B2 to keep everything before the space:
    Formula: copy to clipboard
    =LEFT(A2,FIND(" ",A2)-1)


    Paste in C2 to keep everything after the space:
    Formula: copy to clipboard
    =RIGHT(A2,LEN(A2)-FIND(" ",A2))

    Re: Break text

    2 other options...
    Option 1
    =LEFT(A1,SEARCH(" ",A1,1)-1)
    and
    =MID(A1,SEARCH(" ",A1,1)+1,99)

    Option 2
    Use Text2Columns with space as the delimiter
    1. Use code tags for VBA. [code] Your Code [/code] (or use the # button)
    2. If your question is resolved, mark it SOLVED using the thread tools
    3. Click on the star if you think someone helped you
