Default extract number and use in formula from text & numbers in cell

Sorry for wasting everyone's time, I figured it out already!

Text in cell C90 = 25m3/hour
Using formula MID(C90,1,FIND("m",C90,1)-1
The answer = 25

Thanks anyways!

I use functions to do this? It is not always 25 though, it could be a one,
two or three digit number. and there could be more than one digit mixed in
with the text that I don't want to include
