Hi there...

i am looking forward to know is there any formula to know if a value
is alphanumeric too, as well as its a number or a letter...

Take care...

This is a bit more involved, but this will also tell you if the first
character is something other than a letter or number.

=IF(A1="","",IF(AND(CODE(LEFT(A1,1))=48,CODE(LEFT (A1,1))<=57),"Number",IF(**OR(AND(CODE(LEFT(A1,1)) =65,CODE(LEFT(A1,1))<=90),AND(CODE(LEFT(A1,1))=9 7*,*CODE(LEFT(A1,1))<=122)),"Letter","Other")))

Well... exactly don have any examples as i amjut trying it out...
but still...

consider A1 as "A155AbAAn", than giving
"=IF(A1="","",IF(AND(CODE(LEFT(A1,1))=48,CODE(LEF T(A1,1))<=57),"Number
",IF(**
OR(AND(CODE(LEFT(A1,1))=65,CODE(LEFT(A1,1))<=90), AND(CODE(LEFT(A1,1))
=97*,*CODE(LEFT(A1,1))<=122)),"Letter","Other")))" ,


the output is either "Letter", or "Number"....

if we can get "Aplhanumeric" tooo....
