    extract numbers out of strings.

    In column D, I have a column of strings like below:

    3 M1
    4 S2
    5 S8
    6 M0
    7 M10
    etc

    The M or S will always be 1st & the number will be no more the 10.

    I need the simplest formula possible to extract the number out in column E of the same row, for example:

    3 1
    4 2
    5 8
    6 0
    7 10
    etc

    Thanks for all your help. mikeburg

    Simplest possible formula to extract numbers out of strings.

    If the cell will only contain a letter followed by one or two digits...
    Try this:

    D3: M5

    this formula returns the numeric part...as a number:
