Character and number in a cell - Can you help?

[Woo]

I am trying to create a cell that can accommondate characters and
numbers. The first 12 spaces in a cell should reserve for character,
and the 13rd onward will be numbers. For example, if I enter ABC123,
it should written in the cell as 'ABC 123'.

Any idea?

Please help. Thanks.

You can only format a cell as number or text, so you must format as Tex
in this case. If you need to use the numbers in a calculation you wil
have to convert the text back to numbers in your formula or use anothe
column for the numbers perhaps hidden).

Hi
it would be better if you use two separate cells for this

AFAIK, it's not possible to do this with formatting.

You have to write a macro to make it work
