The following User Defined Function will return the numerals in a mixed cell:

Public Function ReturnNumerals(rng As Range) As String
Dim sStr As String, i As Long, sStr1 As String
Dim sChar As String
sStr = rng.Value
For i = 1 To Len(sStr)
sChar = Mid(sStr, i, 1)
If sChar Like "[0-9]" Then
sStr1 = sStr1 & sChar
End If
Next
ReturnNumerals = sStr1
End Function

This UDF will return the non-numerals in a mexed cell:

Public Function ReturnAlphas(rng As Range) As String
Dim sStr As String, i As Long, sStr1 As String
Dim sChar As String
sStr = rng.Value
For i = 1 To Len(sStr)
sChar = Mid(sStr, i, 1)
If Not sChar Like "[0-9]" Then
sStr1 = sStr1 & sChar
End If
Next
ReturnAlphas = sStr1
End Function

User Defined Functions (UDFs) are very easy to install and use:

1. ALT-F11 brings up the VBE window
2. ALT-I
ALT-M opens a fresh module
3. paste the stuff in and close the VBE window

If you save the workbook, the UDF will be saved with it.

To remove the UDF:

1. bring up the VBE window as above
2. clear the code out
3. close the VBE window

To use the UDF from Excel:

=myfunction(A1)
