I couldn't get these formulas to work:

[TABLE="width: 576"]
<tbody>[TR]
[TD="colspan: 5"]=MIN(FIND({0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9},A4&"0123456789"))[/TD]
[TD][/TD]
[TD][/TD]
[TD][/TD]
[TD][/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD="colspan: 6"]=MIN(SEARCH({0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9},A5&"0123456789"))[/TD]
[TD][/TD]
[TD][/TD]
[TD][/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD="colspan: 9"]=RIGHT(A6,SUM(LEN(A6)-LEN(SUBSTITUE(A6,{"0","1","2","3","4","5","6","7","8","9"},""))))[/TD]
[/TR]
</tbody>[/TABLE]


Data starting in A4:

[TABLE="width: 296"]
<tbody>[TR]
[TD]Agnes Twp, Fordville SD, Niag Fire - 0104-8[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]Agnes Twp, Fordville SD, Ink Fire - 0104-09[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]Agnes Twp, Larimore SD - 0107[/TD]
[/TR]
</tbody>[/TABLE]


I would like a formula that would return

0104-8
0104-9
0107

Any idea what I am doing wrong?
 
I tried changing to a semi-colon, and that did not work.
Even for the formula I posted?

=TRIM(RIGHT(SUBSTITUTE(A4;" ";REPT(" ";200));200))

What error did you get when you tried this?

Which Excel functions can ignore hidden rows?
The SUBTOTAL and AGGREGATE functions ignore hidden rows. AGGREGATE can also exclude error cells and more.
Thank you for all your help. You and Rick are amazing! Debbie
