Extract alpha from a cell
If I have a cell that contains numeric & alpha data how do I extract just the
alpha part? All my data begins with the letter "F". How can I pull just the "F" out of the cell? Example: F00143 Not all the cells have the same number of characters in it. They might have 5 numbers after it, or 4, or 3. I just want to extract the beginning character since it's the alpha portion. |

Extract alpha from a cell
.... or just =LEFT(A1), as it defaults to one character.
