    Extract Alphanumeric string from a cell

    Good morning,

    I have a list of Account names with Account numbers inside them, the account number is not in a set place but its always three letters then three numbers eg. AAA001

    The data may look like:

    Barclays Bank BLC041 London
    BLC041 Barclays bank
    Barclays Bank (BLC041)

    Any help would be much appreciated!

    EDIT: Forgot to say that I wanted these Account numbers in a seperat column by themselves

    Hi

    Try this Array Formula(Control+Shift+Enter0

    =SUM((MID(0&A1;LARGE(IF(ISNUMBER(MID(0&A1;ROW($1:$256);1)*1);ROW($1:$256);1);ROW($1:$256));1)*1)*10^(ROW($1:$256)-1))
    Regards

    Fotis.
