A smart way to parse alpha numerics?
Are the numbers always together like in your example and not like 44A55B66?
If so this somewhat ugly array formula will work =--MID(A1,MATCH(FALSE,ISERROR(--MID(A1,ROW(INDIRECT("1:100")),1)),0),100-SUM(--ISERROR(--MID(A1,ROW(INDIRECT("1:100")),1)))) entered with ctrl + shift & enter another one by Domenic I believe =LOOKUP(9.99999999999999E+307,--MID(A1,MIN(SEARCH({0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9},A1&"012345 6789")),ROW(INDEX(A:A,1):INDEX(A:A,LEN(A1))))) then to get the text just use =SUBSTITUTE(A1,B1,"") where B1 is the cell with any of the formulas -- Regards, Peo Sjoblom http://nwexcelsolutions.com "mtbakerstu" wrote in message oups.com... Thanks Dave, here are some examples: 129A 44A 44A 44A VXA44AG 44A VXB180 169 169 169 D129 |
