well, I have not idea why it worked, but it did, kinda.

the range of non-numeric values is as follows:

indicating positive values (0-9) { A B C D E F G H I

indicating negative values (0-9) } J K L M N O P Q R

your solution worked when alpha values = A - I.

??

thanks!

Assuming the string is in A2 and that the alpha character is always UPPER

I tried the =lookup formula and it returns a single value.

I am looking to convert 00000000007310F0000 to 0000000000731060000

I've tried with
=REPLACE(C10,15,1,(IF(MID(C10,15,1)={"A","B","C"," D","E","F"},{"1","2","3","4","5","6"},"")))

the above formula only works if the alpha char in the number string = A,
otherwise it returns false.

?

If alpha characters A through I are the only characters possible within
the text string, try...

=LOOKUP(MID(C3,15,1),F3:G11)

Otherwise, try...

=VLOOKUP(MID(C3,15,1),F3:G11,2,0)

Hope this helps!

I have a column of values that look like: 00000000007310F0000

all cells are 19 chars in length, and the 15th char is alpha. I need to map
the 15th alpha char to a numeric. the mapping is as follows:

ABCDEFGHI (column F)
123456789 (column G)

this is where I'm at:
=REPLACE(C3,15,1,(IF(MID(C3,15,1)=({F3:F12}),({G3: G11}),"")))

please help
