Default Formula that just gets the first few numbers in a cell, not all?

=LEFT(A1,5)
or
=MID(A1,1,5)
two formula above are return text value not real Excel value. To covert text
value to real Excel value you can use one of these formula.
=--LEFT(A1,5)
=LEFT(A1,5)+0
=LEFT(A1,5)*1
=LEFT(A1,5)^1
=VALUE(LEFT(A1,5))
=LEFT(A1,5)/1
=LEFT(A1,5)-0
Samething for MID function

I know there's a function or formula in Excel that allows you to just look at
the first or last few numbers in a particular cell. Ex.I need my if then
formula to just look at the first 5 numbers in a cell (the zip code) and
ignore the -3645 behind the zip code. help?
