    Can I somehow have one cell reference a number among letters in another cell?

    Like A1 references the "16" in "16 candles" in B1

    Fast answers need visual help. Please read the yellow banner at the top of this page on how to attach a file and a mocked up solution.

    Note: you will need examples of all possible scenarios.

    Maybe this in A1:

    =--LEFT(B1,FIND(" ",B1)-1)

    Hope this helps.
