Split cell at last space excel VBA

Question

I am trying to split a value inside a cell at the last space. For example, I want Abbey Road 4 split to Abbey Road and 4

I need this to be done with VBA, not a Formula, as I need to delete the original Column afterwards.

Answer 1

Look at INSTRREV to find the last occurrence of a string within a string. https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hsxyczeb(v=vs.84).aspx

Sub Test()

    SplitText ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("A1:A11")

End Sub

Sub SplitText(SrcRange As Range)

    Dim rCell As Range

    For Each rCell In SrcRange.Cells
        rCell.Offset(, 1) = Left(rCell, InStrRev(rCell, " ") - 1)
        rCell.Offset(, 2) = Mid(rCell, InStrRev(rCell, " ") + 1)
    Next rCell

End Sub

Answer 2

Here is a variation on the answer from Darren Bartrup-Cook ...

Assume cell A2 has the text Some text with spaces in it, below will put Some text with in C2 and spaces in D2

'Get text from A2
theText = Cells(2, 1).Value

'Get text to the left of last space
newTextLeft = Left(theText, InStrRev(theText, " ") - 1)
Cells(2, 3).Value = newTextLeft

'Get text to right of last space
newTextRight = Mid(theText, InStrRev(theText, " ") + 1)
Cells(2, 4).Value = newTextRight
