Hi, does anyone know the best way to test if the 1st character in a cell in a
number or a letter in an IF statement? I tried =IF(ISNUMBER(MID(A1,1,1)),do
this if true, do this if false where A1 could be a202 or 202 and it didn't
work. I clearly don't understand the ISNUMBER command. I even tried it alone
=ISNUMBER(MID(A1,1,1) where A1 was a202 and 202 and they both came back
FALSE. *Any ideas?

Thanks,

Hi John

=isnumber(A1)

will return true if A1 contains a number, otherwise it returns false.
