    Formula to extract Numerical and Alpha value

    Hello:

    I have

    A1 = 2021 - PNL
    A2 = 2021 Balance sheet


    I need excel UNIQUE formula in b1 to give starting digit part of the text in column A
    and 1st alpha character in column C

    So result needs to be
    B1 = 2021 and C1 = P
    B2 = 2021 and c2 = B

    Let me know if you have any questions.
    Thanks.

    Riz

    If you still have Excel 2010, then you don’t have the UNIQUE function - perhaps you need to update your forum profile to 365.

    Hello Ali:

    My mistake, I do not mean UNIQUE formula.
    Excel formula which will give above result.
    Sorry for any misunderstanding.

    Thanks and Happy Valentine

    If they all start

    "YYYY - " then use:


    =MID(A2,8,1)

    if they don't please supply representative examples.
