Thank you
 

Excel Facts

Will the fill handle fill 1, 2, 3?
Yes! Type 1 in a cell. Hold down Ctrl while you drag the fill handle.
{=MID(A2,MATCH(TRUE,ISNUMBER(1*MID(A2,ROW($1:$100),1)),0),COUNT(1*MID(A2,ROW($1:$100),1)))}

NOTE: It is an array formula so do not forget { } or ALT+CTRL+SHIFT

Here is another (normally entered) formula that I think should do what you want...

=MID(A2,MIN(FIND(10000,A2&10000),FIND(20000,A2&20000)),11)

Thanks Alpadem, i tried but i was not work

Thanks Rick, it works but not perfect. In 1 cell if we have number another number which contains 20000, the formula will get that number.
i.e in 1 cell, have this words

please check the PO# 9200004735, ticket number 20000430096

if use your formula the result wil be
"200004735- " not the ticket number.

thanks

None of your examples in Message #1 indicated this kind of construction, so there was no way for me to know I would have to account for it. It is always best to post several (if necessary) fully representative examples of your data so we know what we have to work with as well as work around.

Hi Reza

I tried again and works fine. You should write =MID(A2,MATCH(TRUE,ISNUMBER(1*MID(A2,ROW($1:$100),1)),0),COUNT(1*MID(A2,ROW($1:$100),1))) then before press enter you should CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER, sorry my bad i said my previous mail ALT+CTRL+SHIFT :))

Even it works

Hi,

@ alpadem, maybe I tested your formula incorrectly, but returned the following incorrect result:


Book1
AE
7please check the PO# 9200004735, ticket number 200004300969200004735, ticket nu

Cell Formulas
RangeFormula
E7{=MID(A7,MATCH(TRUE,ISNUMBER(1*MID(A7,ROW($1:$100),1)),0),COUNT(1*MID(A7,ROW($1:$100),1)))}
Press CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER to enter array formulas.


@OP, try this modified version of Rick's formula:
