Hi Eric
This will do the trick:
=IF(ISERROR(LEFT(A1,1)*1),1,2)

There is a string in cell A1, which contain char or number. I would like to
return 1 if the left(A1,1) is char, or return 2 if left(A1,1) is number.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to determine char or number for the
first character of string?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions
Eric
