Pls tell me the solution.
Maybe MID would fit the bill ?
Perhaps an example to illustrate
Assuming A1 contains: text1 text2
with similar in A2 down
and we want to split col A into cols B and C
In B1: =LEFT(A1,SEARCH(" ",A1)-1)
In C1: =MID(A1,SEARCH(" ",A1)+1,99)
B1 returns: text1
C1 returns: text2
(the "99" in MID is arbitrary, adjust the number to suit)
To split it similarly for A2, A3, A4 ....,
just select B1:C1 and copy down

Re: I want to get remaining text after using LEFT function
Not a whole lot of detail to go on.
A1 = some string
B1 = some formula using LEFT that returns a portion of the string in A1
C1 = formula to return the rest of the string:
=SUBSTITUTE(A1,B1,"")

Safer to make that
=SUBSTITUTE(A1,B1,"",1)
in case the B1 formula were something like
=LEFT(A1,FIND(" ",A1)-1)
and A1 were something like
