    Extract Number from Cell

    I have cells with content such as "104684 - DIGITAL CAMERA." I need to extract the number and place it into another cell. Any assistance with a formula would be most appreciated, please.

    Thank you.

    Try this:

    =TRIM(LEFT(A1,FIND("-",A1)-1))

    You need to give a few samples perhaps attach a workbook as per the yellow banner. for what you have given

    left(a1,search(" ",a1,1)-1) would work as it is just the characters before the first space

    or left(a1,search(" ",a1,1)-1) *1 to turn it into a number

    this may not be representative of all your data tho
