    Formula to take value of cell, remove specific text from it, then place it in active cell

    So if

    D2 = "Unit 6"

    I want C2 to be: =D2(remove text "Unit ") so that just the number remains.

    What's the formula for this?

    Are you always looking to remove "Unit"
    =TRIM(REPLACE(A1,1,5,""))+0

    substitute commas with semi-colons if your region settings requires

    If the number is always just 1 digit, try

    =RIGHT(D2)

    If it can be multiple #s as well, then

    =RIGHT(D2,LEN(D2)-5)+0

    =RIGHT(E49, 1)

    E49 would be the cell value

    It may not always be in the D column, I just picked random letters to develop a formula. I will try what you guys posted so far.
