Try to separate them using Power Query. Go to Home --> Transform Data

 

Click on the table on Power Query and select the column that you want to split.

Right click on it --> Split Column --> Select Split Method (maybe delimiter will be suitable in your case)

Can you give a few more examples of input rows? The exact format and number of spaces make a difference in how to split the column.
