    Splitting Text Into Separate Columns

    Hello, Gurus!

    I have some data (attached) that lists vessel names and their voyage numbers in a single column. What I'd like to do is separate the voyage numbers into a separate column. I tried to figure out how to do it using text-to-columns, but as the vessel names can vary in length, fixed width doesn't work, and I can't use delimited either as "spaces" are the only delimiter and can occur within the vessel name; I need the names to remain intact. I feel like I'm over thinking this; this seems like a pretty basic function.

    Little help, anyone?

    Thanks in advance!
