Hi everybody

Here is my question. I have got text data as well as numerical data in same column. I want to separate the two type of data in to two columns. How can i do that. Plz also guide me how to put a table or image in the post so that i can elaborate my question more precisely.

Peace
 

Excel Facts

Return population for a City
If you have a list of cities in A2:A100, use Data, Geography. Then =A2.Population and copy down.
How are the text and numbers seperated in the column? Do they have a single space between them? Is this the same format for every column value?

I don't have 2010, but you can probably use text to columns. Its under the data menu in 2003

The column is like following:
A
22
33
Few
Most
11

I want the output to be like
B
22
33


11
and
C


Few
Most

I hope this will communicate

in B1 put =IF(ISNUMBER(A1),A1,"") and in C1 put =IF(ISNUMBER(B1),"",A1) and copy down to the end of you list

In column B use:

=T(A2) and copy down

In column C use:

=N(A2) and copy down (although this will return zeros for text data that you can remove quickly using autofilter)

Hope this helps

:)
