Calculations are possible, but when comparing, or vlookup, or use in Pivot´s
the nummeric and alfanumeric values are threated differently. So in in a
lookup I won´t find a numeric value when vlooking in textvalue´s.

Hi,

It would have helped to see some sample data and the formula used to extract
it.

say we have this string in A1
qwe1
This formula in B1 extracts the 1 and converts it to a number
=RIGHT(A1,1)*1

However, if you simply use =RIGHT(A1,1) you get the one as text but you can
still do math on it
=B1+8 would still return 9

I´m able to find a specific phrase in a string. But when this is a number the
result is still a text cel. What is the worksheet function I can use to
convert the result into a number ? I don´t want to copy and past the value
(past special - values only), because I want to keep the formula instead of
use the value.
