Multiple data forms in a column
This is going to sound silly, but I'm hitting a wall with this seemingly
simple formula. I have a column of data, lets say its all in column A. In that column there are a number of different values that could be present, both alpha (by itself) and numeric (by itself). In column B I want to write a formula that looks at column A and if the value there is a number, then carry that value into column B. however if the value in column A is alpha characters, I want the cell in Column B to remain blank. Any suggestions? |
