Im trying to calculate some data in a cell that contains text and dollar
values. Ive put together an auction spread sheet for my fantasy baseball
league and Im trying to keep track of players and their dollar values in the
same cell. So one cell may contain €œJeter, 15€� which really represents
Derek Jeter was sold for 15 dollars. I have formulas for keeping track of
dollar values, but they wont recognize that entry because the cell contains
text and a dollar value. Is there any way I can get excel to only see the
numerical value and ignore the text? Thanks in advance for the help.

Also, I realize I can put the number value and the name in a separate cell,
but Im trying to save space with the spread sheet.

Thanks again,
