Insert comma in string

[tagger]

How do you insert a comma into a string in the position before the first number in the string. The string contains both numbers and letters.I have columns with names and addresses that have no space between the end of name and beginning of the address. The most likely occurance are #'s after the name, yes I know PO BOX and RR etc will mess it up, but have to start somewhere, Then I want to insert the comma and then use text to columns to parse. If there is a better way let me know. Thanks!!!

Notice some have a space others don't. I can eliminate extra spaces later but, I need a comma , it will be easier to parse to separate into column. As far as PO and RR I ca use find and replace to coorect and inser comma.

Let A1 house the first entry that needs a comma at the appropriate position.

In B1 array-enter and copy down as far as needed.

=MATCH(1,ISNUMBER(MID(A1,ROW(INDIRECT("1:"&LEN(A1))),1)+0)+0,0)

Note. In order to array-enter a formula you need to hit control+shift+enter at the same time, not just enter.

In C1 enter and copy down:

=REPLACE(A1,B1,1,","&MID(A1,B1,1))

The Text to Columns bit I leave to you.
