Extract numbers and text from range1

Array formula in B15:

=INDEX(tbl, SMALL(IF(ISTEXT(tbl), ROW(tbl)-MIN(ROW(tbl))+1), ROWS(B14:$B$14)), MATCH(SMALL(IF(ISTEXT(tbl), (ROW(tbl)-MIN(ROW(tbl))+1)+(COLUMN(tbl)-MIN(COLUMN(tbl))+1)/16384, ""), ROWS(B14:$B$14)), SMALL(IF(ISTEXT(tbl), ROW(tbl)-MIN(ROW(tbl))+1), ROWS(B14:$B$14))+((COLUMN(tbl)-MIN(COLUMN(tbl))+1)/16384), 0)) + CTRL + SHIFT + ENTER copied down as far as needed.

Array formula in D15:

=SMALL(IF(ISNUMBER(tbl), tbl, ""), ROWS($D$14:D14)) + CTRL + SHIFT + ENTER copied down as far as needed.
