    Formula to Ignore Text in a Cell with Numbers

    Hey guys,

    Looking for some assistance.


    - My "Importing" file is attempting to reference data downloaded in to "Importing" file cells from a website.
    -The number data on the "Importing" file downloads from a website in this "#### FH" format.
    -I'd like my "Importing" sheet to ignore the text that is next to the number data in the "Importing" cells so that I don't get a *VALUE error where there should be a result.

    Any ideas?

    I feel like its an easy fix but my Excel level isn't there!

    Thank you in advance!
