One way:

=LOOKUP(1E300,--LEFT(A1,ROW(INDIRECT("1:"&LEN(A1)))))

Note that this will strip off any leading zeros.

0123ABC will return 123.

If you have leading zeros you can use this version *but* it returns the
value as TEXT, not a number:

=LEFT(A1,SUMPRODUCT(--ISNUMBER(-MID(A1,ROW(INDIRECT("1:50")),1))))

Hi. I need to extract the first few numbers from a cell an ignore the
rest. So If cell A1 shows 12468ABC13 the result should be 12468 or if
cell A1 shows 123ABC45684 the result should be 123. Is this possible?-
