Default function for finding position of numeric character in a string

Hi,

Can anyone help with worksheet function for finding position of numeric
character in a string.

I am trying to extract data into the form 12a345 from data that may be like
any below:

12a345
12a345c
12a345_c
12ab345
12ab345c
12ab345_c

Extracting the first bit is easy with LEFT() but to extract the 345 I need
to find it's position in the string then I can use MID().

Regards,

Paul.
