Dear All
I am using Excel 2016 and want to split a string mix of characters (C) and numbers (N) in three columns

Before (1 Column)
CC NNxNNNg CC
CCC NNxNNNg CCCC
CC CC CCCCC NNxNNNg CC
CCC NNxNNNg CC
CCCCCCC CCCC CC NNxNNNg CC
CC NNxNNNg CCCCCCCC
CCCC CCCCC NNxNNNg CCCCC CCCC
CCCCC CCCCCCC CCCCCC NNxNNNg CC
CC NNxNNNg CC

After in 3 Columns as follows:
I have put spaces between the three columns but it does not show on the post
1st Column 2nd Column 3rd Column
CC NNxNNNg CC
CCC NNxNNNg CCCC
CC CC CCCCC NNxNNNg CC
CCC NNxNNNg CC
CCCCCCC CCCC CC NNxNNNg CC
CC NNxNNNg CCCCCCCC
CCCC CCCCC NNxNNNg CCCCC CCCC
CCCCC CCCCCCC CCCCCC NNxNNNg CC
CC NNxNNNg CC

Just to explain further all the CCCs will be in the 1st Column and the NNxNNNg in second column and the last CCCs coming after the character g will be in third column
Any help would be appreciated
