What I have is a column with 6 characters that can either be all alpha or 1
alpha with 5 numeric characters. What I need to do is examine cell and if
the last five characters are numberic compute the cost. How would I make a
condition to do that.

part # QTY ID Rate Extension
23456 23 JJones .34
39485 20 J23494 .59 11.80
96874 30 J23494 1.19 35.70
16349 50 DDavis .59

in your extension column enter
=if(isnumber(value(right(ID,4))),Qty*Rate,"")

bj's formula will work, though you may wish to change the 4 to a 5. If as
you say, ID is either all alpha or 1 alpha & 5 numeric, the formula would
work with the number in the formula being anything between 1 & 5.
