Text to columns - right-aligned text
Simon,
Try using, for example
=VALUE(RIGHT(TRIM(A1), 10))
where A1 is a cell with the data, and 10 is the length of the EAN number. Copy down to match.

I have a column which contains a product description (in text) and
catalogue/EAN number (numeric). The description varies in terms of number of
characters whereas the catalgoe number doesn't. I want to right justify/align
the column and then text-to columns so I can pick the number away from the
original column - a kind of reverse concatenate. Any suggestions out there?
