Number/Text combination formula
How do I create a formula that gives a dollar amount as the ending result in
a cell when the cell that formula is referencing contains numbers and text? Example 5 Boxes at 5.99= $29.95($0.00 dollar amount being the end result 5 boxes being the number/text cell reference for the formula) Anyhelp anyone can provide is greatly appreciated! |

Number/Text combination formula
I am not sure I understood your query correctly..If you are looking to find
the result from the data in cell A1; try the below A1 = 5 Boxes at 5.99 =(LEFT(A1,FIND(" ",A1)-1)+0)*(TRIM(RIGHT(SUBSTITUTE(A1," ",REPT(" ",LEN(A1))),LEN(A1)))+0) If this post helps click Yes --------------- Jacob Skaria "donnae" wrote: How do I create a formula that gives a dollar amount as the ending result in a cell when the cell that formula is referencing contains numbers and text?

Number/Text combination formula
(all in one line)
=(LEFT(A1,FIND(CHAR(32),A1)-1))*(TRIM(RIGHT(SUBSTITUTE(A1,CHAR(32),REPT(CHAR(3 2),LEN(A1))),LEN(A1)))) If this post helps click Yes --------------- Jacob Skaria "donnae" wrote: How do I create a formula that gives a dollar amount as the ending result in a cell when the cell that formula is referencing contains numbers and text?

Number/Text combination formula
Hi Jacob thanks for the quick response, lets see if I can articulate a little
clearer. This is how my spread sheet is set up: Quantity Unit Cost Total Cost 5 Boxes(Coloum/Cell # A1) $5.29(A2) 26.45(A3) My formula currently looks like this =A1*A2 . I get a VALUE ERROR message because cell A1 contains text! How do I create a formula that will ignore the text portion of cell A1 and give me the total dollar amount in cell A3? How do I create a formula that gives a dollar amount as the ending result in a cell when the cell that formula is referencing contains numbers and text? Example 5 Boxes at 5.99= $29.95($0.00 dollar amount being the end result 5 boxes being the number/text cell reference for the formula) Anyhelp anyone can provide is greatly appreciated! |

Number/Text combination formula
If you have a space between the numeric part and text in cell A1 use the
formula =(LEFT(A1,FIND(CHAR(32),A1)-1)) * A2 If there are no spaces use the below formula;Please note that this is an array formula. Within the cell in edit mode (F2) paste this formula and press Ctrl+Shift+Enter to apply this formula. If successful in 'Formula Bar' you can notice the curly braces at both ends like "{=<formula}" =LEFT(A1,COUNT(1*MID(A1,ROW($1:$9),1)))*A2 If this post helps click Yes --------------- Jacob Skaria "donnae" wrote: Hi Jacob thanks for the quick response, lets see if I can articulate a little clearer.

Try this formula in A3...
=A2*LOOKUP(9.9E+307,--LEFT(A1,ROW($1:$99))) By the way, it would have been clearer had you listed your data vertically (since your data is all in Column A) instead of horizontally making it look like your data was all in Row 2. -- Rick (MVP - Excel) "donnae" wrote in message ...
