How can you turn a range sideways?
Copy the range. Select a blank cell. Right-click, Paste Special, then choose Transpose.
Try this:
Code:
=MID(A1,SUMPRODUCT(--ISNUMBER(--MID(A1,ROW(INDEX
($A:$A,1):INDEX($A:$A,LEN(A1))),1)))+1,LEN(A1))
Does that help?

Couldn't get Ron's to work, so a little Googling turned up this formula which did work for me:

=SUBSTITUTE(A1,LOOKUP(9.99E+307,--MID(A1,MIN(FIND({1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,0},A1&1234567890)),ROW(A$1:INDEX(A:A,LEN($A1))))),"")

I don't know why the formula I posted would not work
Code:
B1: =MID(A1,SUMPRODUCT(--ISNUMBER(--MID(A1,ROW(INDEX
($A:$A,1):INDEX($A:$A,LEN(A1))),1)))+1,LEN(A1))
When copied down...
These are the values and returned values:
Code:
13COLLINGWOOD     COLLINGWOOD
1richmond         richmond
15Main            Main
10235Grand        Grand
Am I missing something?

Sorry Ron, yes, it works. My system was including a hidden character when I copy/pasted that befuddled me temporarily.
