Insert space between number and text with formula
We can apply formula to insert space between number and text easily in Excel. Please do as follows:
1. Select a blank cell, enter the formula =TRIM(REPLACE(A2,MIN(FIND({1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,0},A2&"1234567890")),0," ")) (A2 is the cell where you will insert space between number and text) into it, and press the Enter key. See screenshot:

Note: This formula can only add a space before the first number. For example, this formula will change A5B6C8D6E0F9 to A 5B6C8D6E0F9.
