Default Extract string from apha numeric fields

Biff,

I think the person asking for a solution wants to have a formula that will
extract both 12 and Z from 12z, etc. Can that be done?

A1 = 12z
B1 = 12
C1 formula:

=SUBSTITUTE(A1,B1,"")

I have a column (named size) that has contains both numeric and unit of
measure. I have extracted the numbers into a field but how can i extract
the
unit of measure into another column? Example
ColA Col B Col C
12z = 12 z
12pk= 12 pk
1ct = 1 ct

Thank you!
