Default How to get the number from text?

Hi

And assuming you want them as number and that they are always 3 number
followed by any number of things:

=--LEFT(A1,3)

If there can be any number of number before the text then:

=LOOKUP(9^9,--MID(D9,1,ROW(INDIRECT("1:"&LEN(D9)))))

Note that both of these return number not text numbers.

If this helps, please click the Yes button

Cheers,
Shane Devenshire
