How do I combine these two formulas?

=VLOOKUP(A4,Units,2,FALSE)

=MID(A4,MIN(FIND({0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9},A4&"0123456789")),1)

Is it the Units named range?
What about A4 that is used in MID(A4,....)

Excel Facts

What does custom number format of ;;; mean?
Three semi-colons will hide the value in the cell. Although most people use white font instead.
Units named range is just a bunch of suite numbers. The VLOOKUP finds the suite number from that named range and the MID formula extracts the number.

Can I e-mail you my workbook?

Private support is not recommended in this forum. To increase your chances of getting help you need to explain exactly what you are trying to do. And, sorry to insist, a sample of your data is essential.

Are you saying that the MID function is used to extract some text from the result provided by VLOOKUP?
Something like
=MID(VLOOKUP(....),...)
Is it?

The MID extracts a number from the text. SO Twr2S#1 becomes 2 when using the MID formula.

The VLOOKUP returns the Twe2S#1 so I want to combine the formulas so I just get the number instead of Twr2S#1.

I took a look at your file (a tedious work uff ...) and noticed that these are the possible texts returned by VLOOKUP.

Could you, please, tell us the expected result for each of these cases.
