Hi all,
I am having trouble splitting text and numbers in excel.
I have managed successfully to separate the text before the numbers however when I try to separate the number ( which is a time) from the text to the right it comes up all wird . I have got a spreadsheet that I am using .
On the spreadsheet you have two teams playing each other with a time in the middle. I want to separate the two teams into two columns without the time being added

If you look at what i have tried so far it will be clear where the issue is.

Any advice would be great
Thank you

Will the fill handle fill 1, 2, 3?
Yes! Type 1 in a cell. Hold down Ctrl while you drag the fill handle.

Solution
Since there are always times, you won't need those 3 commas and the 1 after the sequence.
I copied this from another need I had which just took the values from the left and sometimes there weren't any numbers after the text.
