Default Please help with removing text string


For example I have data MK12345 and would like to remove the text from
that so I only have the numerica value return.

What VBA code do I use?

PS: Is there a list somehwere which will list description of all the
functions available?


Thank you!

Paste this code into a Standard Module of your Workbook:

Public Function GetNumPart(c) As String
Dim i As Integer
Dim MyString As String

'Returning numeric value from string'
MyString = ""
For i = 1 To Len(c)
If InStr(1, "0123456789", Mid(c, i, 1), vbTextCompare) 0 Then
MyString = MyString + Mid(c, i, 1)
End If
Next i
GetNumPart = MyString
End Function

Then at a sheet
Example, if in cell A1 you had: Zorgia [NBK-R] (-89,113) Defending
In B1 enter =GetNumPart(A1)

B1 will (should) produce 89113

ASAP Utilities, a free Add-in available at www.asap-utilities.com has a
feature that will remove all the alpha-characters from a string leaving only
the numbers............

Sub RemoveAlphas()
' Remove alpha characters from a string.
' except for decimal points.
Dim intI As Integer
Dim rngR As Range, rngRR As Range
Dim strNotNum As String, strTemp As String
Set rngRR = Selection.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeConstants, _
xlTextValues)

For Each rngR In rngRR
strTemp = ""
For intI = 1 To Len(rngR.Value)
If Mid(rngR.Value, intI, 1) Like "[0-9.]" Then
' adjust to [0-9] if do not want decimal pts.
strNotNum = Mid(rngR.Value, intI, 1)
Else: strNotNum = ""
End If
strTemp = strTemp & strNotNum
Next intI
rngR.Value = strTemp
Next rngR
End Sub
