How to retrieve the number?
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to retrieve the number from filename?
Let assume that only 1 number existed within each filename, which could be any number from 0 to 1000, such as "Eric - UP 4 R.xls". I would like to remove all characters of the filename except the number, and return this number into cell A2. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thank anyone for any suggestions Eric |

any number from 0 to 1000 Try this: =LOOKUP(10000,--MID(A1,MIN(FIND({0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9},A1& "0123456789")),ROW(INDIRECT("1:4")))) If any numbers have leading 0s they'll get dropped. -- Biff Microsoft Excel MVP "Eric" wrote in message ...
