Extract text from alphanumeric value using Excel Formula

3 Comments
Q : Mark asked if we can extract text from alphanumeric value using excel formula.

Solution : Suppose alphanumeric value is placed in cell A2.

 Enter the following formula in cell B2.



How it works ?

 The Microsoft Excel SUBSTITUTE function replaces a set of characters with another.

 Trick : The above formula replaces 1 through 9 with blank value. Hence, all the numeric values are rubbed out from the alphanumeric string.

    Yo need to update the formula as it does not remove number zero from text

    =SUBSTITUTE( SUBSTITUTE( SUBSTITUTE( SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE( SUBSTITUTE( SUBSTITUTE( SUBSTITUTE( SUBSTITUTE(+SUBSTITUTE(A2,"0",""),"1",""),"2",""), "3",""),"4",""),"5",""), "6",""),"7",""),"8",""),"9","")
