=LEFT(A1,MIN(FIND({0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9},A1&"0123456789"))-1)

#2 type the following formula in the formula box of cell D1 to get the number part from the text string in cell A1.

=RIGHT(A1,LEN(A1)-MIN(FIND({0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9},A1&"0123456789"))+1)

3# select the cell C1 and D1, then drag the AutoFill Handle over other cell to apply those formula to split text and numbers.
