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...

Removing text from a cell with text and numbers
Thanks, Rick. That did the trick. Any pride I had in my excel skills has
now been humbled. "Rick Rothstein (MVP - VB)" wrote: Are the number parts always at the end of the text line?
