    Filtering out text from cells?

    Hi. My cells contain both text and numbers. For example: "New York 1000". I need to filter out digits in order to remain with text only. In this example "New York". Any ideas how to do that?

    there are a few ways to achieve this but it depends on your data post a few more varieties of what you have
    but for a simple one like that with numbers at the end only
    =TRIM(RIGHT(SUBSTITUTE(A1," ",REPT(" ",20)),20))
