Removing text from a cell with text and numbers
 

I am using Excel 2007. I am pasting extensive lists into excel from a
website. Column A is a list of different section numbers. As pasted, they
have both text and numbers (i.e. Sec. 25.67). I am curious if it is possible
to use a function that will remove the text and return just the number (i.e.
25.67)?

Removing text from a cell with text and numbers
 

Are the number parts always at the end of the text line? If so...

=MID(A1,MIN(FIND({0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9},A1&"0123456 789")),99)

Thanks, Rick. That did the trick. Any pride I had in my excel skills has
now been humbled.
