How to indicate any text/letter value in Excel

Hi All,

I need to know if there is a way in excel to express the concept any letter value...basically I need to separate some text in which I have a variable number of numeric values first and then letters.
i.e.
123French
2323123Italian

The idea is to use the "find" formula first to find where the first letter happens to be.....however I don't know how to express that and please don't aske me to nest an enourmus series of or formula with all the alphabet

Thanks
Sergio


P.S.
The two parts have no space or any special value that I could use.




P.S.
Text to column won't work

Excel tip:

Calculate age or service

The DATEDIF() function in Excel calculates the number of days, months, or years between two dates. So, this function makes it easy to calculate a person's age. To try this tip:

In a blank worksheet, type the birth date in cell A1, using slashes to separate day, month, and year.
In cell A2, type =DATEDIF(A1,TODAY(),"y") and press ENTER.
