parsing the value of the Target variable...

Using this function..

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)

I know that Target is the value. How do I see what the first or first two characters are? What I am doing is a schedule spreadsheet. The person wants to enter in the hours the employee works but also have a note next to it. So I need to be able to just get the number value for total hours worked. Am I making this hard?

Thanks,

Brian
