I have read many mails from this group which is of great useful to me. Currently I am finding a problem in extracting the employee no from the scrambled data. (Attached reference file) What I need is I want to extract out only the employee no which is only numerical value and nine digit number. I couldn’t use formulas like (LEFT, RIGHT or MID) as the count of numbers is not unique. I have 200 such data’s to extract. Kindly help me.
