Extracting numbers before and after spaces

[stroffso]

Hi,

I have a few hundred cells which all have 4 digits in them seperated by a space.

Eg Cell A1 has 4 16 23 43 in it. Cell A2 has 5 78 76 45 in it.

What I want to do is have formulas in Columns B,C and D which extracts each number out

So cell B1 would have 4 C1 would have 16 and so on.

I have the formula to return the number at the start and at the end of the cell but would anyone be able to help me on what the formula would be for the middle 2?

Also i cant use text to columns here.

thanks in advance

Try:

<table border="1" cellspacing="0" style="font-family:Calibri,Arial; font-size:11pt; background-color:#ffffff; "> <colgroup><col style="font-weight:bold; width:30px; " /><col style="width:76.04px;" /><col style="width:76.04px;" /><col style="width:76.04px;" /><col style="width:76.04px;" /><col style="width:76.04px;" /></colgroup><tr style="background-color:#cacaca; text-align:center; font-weight:bold; font-size:8pt; "><td > </td><td >A</td><td >B</td><td >C</td><td >D</td><td >E</td></tr><tr style="height:19px ;" ><td style="font-size:8pt; background-color:#cacaca; text-align:center; " >1</td><td >4 16 23 43</td><td style="text-align:right; ">4</td><td style="text-align:right; ">16</td><td style="text-align:right; ">23</td><td style="text-align:right; ">43</td></tr><tr style="height:19px ;" ><td style="font-size:8pt; background-color:#cacaca; text-align:center; " >2</td><td >5 78 76 45</td><td style="text-align:right; ">5</td><td style="text-align:right; ">78</td><td style="text-align:right; ">76</td><td style="text-align:right; ">45</td></tr></table><br /><table style="font-family:Arial; font-size:10pt; border-style: groove ;border-color:#00ff00;background-color:#fffcf9; color:#000000; "><tr><td ><b></b></td></tr><tr><td ><table border = "1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="2" style="font-family:Arial; font-size:9pt;"><tr style="background-color:#cacaca; font-size:10pt;"><td >Cell</td><td >Formula</td></tr><tr><td >B1</td><td >=IFERROR(--MID(SUBSTITUTE($A1," ",REPT(" ",99)),((COLUMNS($B$2:B2)-1)*99)+1,99),"")</td></tr></table></td></tr></table>

That is excellent, worked a charm thanks

Try:

	A	B	C	D	E
4 16 23 43
5 78 76 45

<colgroup><col style="font-weight:bold; width:30px; "><col style="width:76.04px;"><col style="width:76.04px;"><col style="width:76.04px;"><col style="width:76.04px;"><col style="width:76.04px;"></colgroup><tbody>
[TD="bgcolor: [URL=https://www.mrexcel.com/forum/usertag.php?do=list&action=hash&hash=cacaca]#cacaca[/URL] , align: center"]1[/TD]

[TD="align: right"]4[/TD]
[TD="align: right"]16[/TD]
[TD="align: right"]23[/TD]
[TD="align: right"]43[/TD]

[TD="bgcolor: [URL=https://www.mrexcel.com/forum/usertag.php?do=list&action=hash&hash=cacaca]#cacaca[/URL] , align: center"]2[/TD]

[TD="align: right"]5[/TD]
[TD="align: right"]78[/TD]
[TD="align: right"]76[/TD]
[TD="align: right"]45[/TD]

</tbody>

Cell Formula B1 =IFERROR(--MID(SUBSTITUTE($A1," ",REPT(" ",99)),((COLUMNS($B$2:B2)-1)*99)+1,99),"") <tbody> </tbody>

<tbody>

I know you asked for a formula solution and Dante has given that to you, but another very quick option (at least once you are used to it) would be
1. Select the column by clicking its heading label
2. Data ribbon tab -> Text to Columns -> Delimited -> Next -> Check 'Space' -> Next -> Destination: B1 -> Finish

Glad to help you. Thanks for the feedback.

Thanks for the tip but as stated in my initial post I cant use the text to columns here for a few reasons. Appreciate the response all the same
