    Extract a List from an array of Concentated and normal values

    Hi I have the following list in column A:

    A123
    B213
    C412 A314
    D411
    B615 E891
    G349
    A019 I532 H682 C333

    I need to extract the extra values from the cells that have more than one value and put in to its own cell. Such as below. Order isn't of particular concern. This should be a formula solution. Rather not use a macro - but I'll understand if its the only option.

    A123
    B213
    C412
    A314
    D411
    B615
    E891
    G349
    A019
    I532
    H682
    C333

    Thanks for the help!

    So the data above was for demonstration purposes. Actuallity is the data was all numbers with a fixed length, but all formated as text. However some of the values would have multiple ID's as shown above.

    Therefore, column A had the source data. Then in columns B-K I set up each cell to grab a fixed length of data from column A - so column B would grab the first bit of data, column C would grab the second, etc etc. At the same time I convereted these "text" numbers to values as I grabbed them.

    Then I set up an index column in L and in column M I returned the largest value from the array B:K based on the corresponding index value in column L.

    This gave me a list of all values sorted largest to smallest. Source data would not have duplicate values and had consistent size and type therefore this solution worked for my needs.
