Formula with first letter in cell
Hi,
If the first character in A1 is numeric, multiply it by 5, otherwise show 0: =IF(ISNUMBER(LEFT(A1,1)), LEFT(A1,1), 0)*5 -- Hope that helps.

Formula with first letter in cell
It looks like my first suggestion was an improper use of the ISNUMBER
function. This seems to work: =IF(ISERROR(LEFT(A1,1)*5),0,LEFT(A1,1)*5) -- Hope that helps.
