Assuming the number is always the first characters of the string followed by
a space:

=LEFT(A1,FIND(" ",A1)-1)*LEFT(A2,FIND(" ",A2)-1)

Ok....sample...

If a given spreadsheet has...

3 days [in cell A1]
400 per day [in cell A2]

then in cell A3, I'd like to multiply 3 and 400.
Mind you, the cell has mixed text and numbers.

Some idiot submitted a huge spreadsheet without separating units from
number
of units!!

Help!!

Is there a way for excel to identify cells with number in them, then
extract
the numerical data from the cell and use it in another formula?
