Hi,

Can anyone helps me with a problem I have got?

I have a column of cells with data in e.g.

123 apple
4390 banana
yellow 56973

I need to remove the numerics and leave the text - how can i do this easily?

Thanks,


Download and install Longre's free morefunc.xll add-in from
http://xcell05.free.fr

Then use this formula:

=TRIM(REGEX.SUBSTITUTE(A1,"\d"))
