Formulas!
Hi,
I have a field with 9 digits. I used the RIGHT formula to extract 5 numbers from it. Now I also need to convert it to number (perhaps the VALUE). How can I join those two formulas? Example: 310009148 09148 wrong. i need 9148 310010542 10542 10452. ok. Hope someone can help me. Thanks, Barbara |

Excel needs to be prompted to coerce the "numeric text" into a number.
The standard convention for doing that is the double-minus....(see below) With A1: 310009148 Try this B1: =--RIGHT(A1,5) Does that help? *********** Regards, Ron XL2002, WinXP "Barbara" wrote: Hi, I have a field with 9 digits.
