why not use formulas in excel?

With your full text in cell c1:
'name cell
=LEFT(C1,FIND(" ",C1))
'code num cell
=RIGHT(C1,LEN(C1)-FIND(" ",C1))

Sorry, but we don't do homework. What value is your MBA if we make the effort?

Sorry didn't see that it was homework. This stuff isn't very hard, maybe I should go get an MBA if this is as bad as it gets

So why not state this in your question?
