If I have the following all in cell A1


40 2 Apples and oranges


How do I just get Apples and Oranges


also the text could have varying number of text and the numbers at the beginning can also change to varying degrees.

Thank you

Excel Facts

Copy formula down without changing references
If you have =SUM(F2:F49) in F50; type Alt+' in F51 to copy =SUM(F2:F49) to F51, leaving the formula in edit mode. Change SUM to COUNT.
Supply some more data so we can distinguish a pattern.
Vary the examples according to your data.

Here is an array-entered** formula that should work...

=REPLACE(A1,1,MIN(IF(CODE(MID(A1,ROW(INDIRECT("1:"&LEN(A1))),1))>64,ROW(INDIRECT("1:"&LEN(A1)))))-1,"")

**Commit this formula using CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER and not just Enter by itself

Wow Rick, you've done it again! Although I have no idea what you did, it seems to work perfectly!


Thanks again for your help!
