I have a row that has values in most of the columns that look like: Char 15 or Char 1 (Some columns are blank or may have a text that doesnt contain Char...)
I need formula where if the cell value does start with "Char" then extract that number. As an FYI the columns that do have Char... its to identify the Max number of characters allowed in that column. Therefore I am trying to extract the number of Characters and then use it in a Len formula Example =(MAX(LEN(MSQ_BySE_QuantityBreakPoints[QT_LN_NOTES]))>250)=TRUE

Thanks
 

Excel Facts

Select a hidden cell
Somehide hide payroll data in column G? Press F5. Type G1. Enter. Look in formula bar while you arrow down through G.
Is that the only text that would be in a cell? "Char #" ? If so, maybe something like this:

Book1
ABCDEFG
1
2Char 15Char 1Char 25Char 30
31510025030
