I have data where it is sorted by dated and I wanted to subtotal the number
of plants that we delivered for a specific date. The problem is the exported
data has numerals and text. (Example below.) So when I try and do a simple
sum it isn't. Can someone help me with how to get it to just sum the number.
I believe for the most part it is just the 1st or 1st and 2nd characters of
the field. I thought I read somewhere that you can just pull the numbers out
but as in the 1st example the pot size is showing up as well and I don't want
that to be included.

16,Pothos Jade Green 06"
2,Aglaonema Silver Queen

Thank you in advance,
