I have column B with either a numerical value or a letter text. In column M, I need to use only the numerical value and regard the text as 0.

In M, I entered =IF(ISNUMBER(B5),B5,0)

But, when B5=7, it returns a 0. When B5 is a T, it returns a 0 as well.

Column B is formatted as a Number (0 decimal places).

What am I doing wrong? Thanks in advance!
