Default How do I separate numbers?

LOL...

Now, for the same functionality, my formula ends up being the shorter
one.<g

Well, okay, it is not exactly the same functionality... yours will survive
an entry like 123/abc where as mine won't, but the OP did ask how to
separate "numbers", so that shouldn't be a problem.

Hello,

Or
=--(LEFT(A1,FIND("/",A1&"/")-1))
with a little insurance against non-appearing "/"'s.

Regards,
Bernd
