    Question Trying to Filter out TEXT in Excel 2003 and only let numbers remain?

    Hi guys im using office 2003
    I import emails from outlook into an excel Document;
    However the only values I want imported is the numbers in the email,not the text.
    I am searching for a formula or anything to enter into excel to only view the numbers and not the text values??

    COULD anyone help??
    I am working with large entries like 1000+ entries a day and do not have time to manually delete the text out of each and every cell.

    Regards

    Hi Martin
    Thanks for the reply

    An example of what would be written in each cell would be :

    "User 447000000000 has not been unsubscribed from any list!!!
    List of services found:"


    What I need in each cell is just the number without any text:
    "447000000000"

    I understand I could manually edit and delete each cell but it would take me ages,,,,

    Regards

    Hi,

    Assumming each cell starts with
    "User 447000000000 has
    =MID(A1,FIND(" ",A1,1)+1,FIND(" ",A1,FIND(" ",A1,1)+1)-1-FIND(" ",A1,1)) the number will still be formatted as text.
