OK, this solution attempts to convert each of the first 4 characters to an integer. If the character is alphabetic, INT() produces an error. (#VALUE!) So, if INT() produces an error, ISERROR() results in "true" So, for each of the first 4 characters, ISERROR should be "true": =AND(LEN(B8)=11, ISNUMBER(INT(RIGHT(B8,7))), EXACT(B8,UPPER(B8)), ISERROR(INT(MID(B8,1,1))), ISERROR(INT(MID(B8,2,1))), ISERROR(INT(MID(B8,3,1))), ISERROR(INT(MID(B8,4,1))))
