How to ignore a character in a formula?
For example:
B7 = FLS-105
C7 = SUM (B7/2)
C7 = #Value!
But if when I do this
B7 = 105
C7 = SUM (B7/2)
C7 = 52.5
I wanted to be able to enter the FLS- in front of the number in B7
Help.
Thank you.

One way might be something like this:
=sum(MID(B7,FIND("-",B7)+1,LEN(B7)))/2
Why use sum when there's only one number??
=MID(B7,FIND("-",B7)+1,LEN(B7))/2
makes more sense.
I should add that my offering will only work if there's a hyphen between the text (which can be anything that's hyphen-free) and the number

None of us get paid for helping you... we do this for fun. So DON'T FORGET to say "Thank You" to all who have freely given some of their time to help YOU
maybe this
="FLS-"&SUBSTITUTE(B7,"FLS-","")/2
