    Remove Numbers from a string of text

    HI

    I am looking to remove numbers from a cell containing a text string also. Numbers are always seperated form the text by a space but there can be other spaces in the text.

    Example Data would be
    A
    109200 Bobs Farm
    3445 Manly
    34298 Charlottes Pass

    I would want the cells to just read
    Bobs Farm
    Manly
    Charlottes Pass

    Respectively, The length of numbers will also change regularly - Any help at all would be awesome

    Re: Remove Numbers from a string of text

    is the number always at the front seperated by a space?

    if so then formula like below can seperate it out
    assuming cell is in A1
    Formula: copy to clipboard

    As per your description.

    If Text string is in A1

    Then

    B1=TRIM(RIGHT(A1,LEN(A1)-FIND(" ",A1)))
    or
    B1=TRIM(RIGHT(SUBSTITUTE(A1," ",REPT(" ",50)),101))
