I guess we should further clarify... is the part in front of the number
always a SINGLE letter character? Is the number part always going to be
three digits long? Any other info we should know?

This is where my problem is. Here is an example of one of the cells:
C5,C16,C30,C38,C54,C91,C98,C136,C147
I can have a few hundred of these alpha numeric characters in one cell.
Thanks for your time.

That's O.K. We can solve this.

In A1 thru A3 I entered:

R1
R12
R152


I put my formula in B1 thru B3 and see:

R1 R001
R12 R012
R152 R152

What do you see?
