Above is an example of data line I need to split these into 3 types:
First column: starts with 2 and is of 4 digit (2722 2723 in above example) Second: starts with 2 and is of 7 digit(2786952 in above example); third: starts with 4 is of 7 digit (4345784 4536841 in above example).
I tried separating everything into different columns and then putting IF AND conditions that I mentioned above but the problem is not everything is getting separated and splitting everything is not efficient enough. I am not able to figure out a vba code for something that satisfies all the conditions and works too.
Can anyone help me out?

Code tried: IF(AND(LEFT(A4,1) = "2",LEN(A4) < 5), A4, "No") -This doesn't separate 4 digit numbers in between of text's or numbers.

Tried VBA CODE to extract numbers and text. But for numbers they were all extracted together without space so cant do anything with them.
Function GetNumber(CellRef As String)
Dim StringLength As Integer
StringLength = Len(CellRef)
For i = 1 To StringLength
If IsNumeric(Mid(CellRef, i, 1)) Then Result = Result & Mid(CellRef, i, 1)
Next i
GetNumber = Result
End Function


Function GetText(CellRef As String)
Dim StringLength As Integer
StringLength = Len(CellRef)
For i = 1 To StringLength
If Not (IsNumeric(Mid(CellRef, i, 1))) Then Result = Result & Mid(CellRef, i, 1)
Next i
GetText = Result
End Function

Would anyone be kind enough to help?
 

Excel Facts

Workdays for a market open Mon, Wed, Friday?
Yes! Use "0101011" for the weekend argument in NETWORKDAYS.INTL or WORKDAY.INTL. The 7 digits start on Monday. 1 means it is a weekend.
Can you provide more samples of what the data looks like?

There is no set rule that the 4 digit number starting from2 is in the beginning or end. Same for all conditions, its gibbersih that needs to be sorted.
