When I perform 'formula auditing'/evaluate formula...I get:
for....SEARCH({0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9},A7&"0123456 789")
the following:
({4,6,7,8,2,10,11,12,13})
Why do I NOT SIMPLY GET: 4

Because your processing an array of values: SEARCH({0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9}

So, you get an array of values in return: {4,5,6,7,8,2,10,11,12,13}

I have:

In Cell A7: A55

In Cell B7:

=LOOKUP(9.9E+307,--MID(A7,MIN(SEARCH({0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9},A7&"012345 6789")),ROW(INDIRECT("1:"&LEN(A7)))))

When I perform 'formula auditing'/evaluate formula...I get:

for....SEARCH({0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9},A7&"0123456789 ")

the following:

({4,6,7,8,2,10,11,12,13})

Why do I NOT SIMPLY GET: 4

Thanks,
