    Deletion of Chinese Characters in Number String (SOLVED)

    I have numbers in a cell with chinese character unit of measures behind them. I need to isolate the number. Text to Columns doesn't seem to work since I cannot paste the Chinese characters in. Any help would be appreciated.

    Sample Numbers :

    54300个
    13大卷
    3.5卷
    7740条

    USe this formula considering ur data begins from cell A1 and then copy it down...
    =REPLACE(LEFT(A1,LOOKUP(10,MID(A1,ROW(INDIRECT("1:30")),1)+0,ROW(INDIRECT("1:30")))),1,MIN(FIND(0,SU BSTITUTE(A1&0,{1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9},0)))-1,"")+0

    Give this formula a try:
    =LOOKUP(99^99,--LEFT(A1,ROW(A$1:INDEX(A:A,LEN(A1)))))
    Hope that helps,

    Re: Deletion of Chinese Characters in Number String (SOLVED)

    If your numbers are on starting,

    =LOOKUP(9E300,--LEFT(0&A1,ROW(A$1:A$100)))
