Stripping nubers from text in a cell
With
A1: (containing text that may begin with numbers.....eg 1258 ahjKJ yuUIOI)
This formula (in sections to compensate for text wrap)
returns the text to the right of those beginning numbers:
B1: =MID(A1,MATCH(FALSE,INDEX(ISNUMBER(--LEFT(A1,ROW(INDEX($A:$A,1):
INDEX($A:$A,LEN(A1))))),0),0),LEN(A1))
In the above example, B1 returns: ahjKJ yuUIOI
Is that something you can work with?
