Hi,

I have looked through other peoples questions and so far I havent been
able
to find an answer that works for me.

I have cells which contain both numbers and text and I want to
reference
these cells elsewhere, specifically just the numbers. There is no
standard
format to the number apart from it is always number followed by text
(with no
spaces between).

E.g
123A
45678BD
9CEG

I dont want to split the data out into multiple columns as well and
ideally
no macros, is there a function / formula within Excel that will allow
me to
just select the numbers?

Thanks

Ed

Hi, have a look at this site'Strings and Manipulations'
(http://www.mvps.org/dmcritchie/excel/strings.htm) under the "Related
Topics" paragraph
