Truncate / Substitute Formulas
FW345A-A
Are the numbers to extract *ALWAYS* together?
Will there ever be strings like this:
F5W345A-1
1-FW345A-A
FW34A5A-A

Is there a formula that removes everything except numbers from a cell?
For
example, if a cell contained the text FW345A-A the formula would return
the
value 345. I got it to somewhat work using SUBSTITUTE on top of itself,
but
there seems to be a limit in the number of characters you can add to the
string. It won't let you add all 26 letters and the dash.
