How do I look up a number within a string of text
In column A I have 1000 rows of text.Within each line of text in this column
is a 5 digit number that is at different points within the text. Is there any way I can extract the 5 digit number and have it in column B alongside the text it came from? e.g. some text is dfgjdfgdfgd14532sfddfgdfg other text is dfgsdfgsdfgdfgdfgdfgdf14321 i.e totally random text but with a number in there. If it was always at the end of the text i'd simply do a formula =RIGHT(A1,5) However it's not that simple. Any help is greatly appreciated Regards Rich |
