I have a long list of strings in a1 but I want to extract the numbers from the strings. Additionally some of the strings have special character aside from just the alphabet that I also want to remove. Is there a macro that exists that will delete the entire uppercase and lowercase alphabet from each value in column A along with the special characters:
[
]
,
'
-
_

.
!

TLDR: macro that converts "[S14E1007] How to tie a tie .mkv " into "1007 " with 1007 being outputted in column B while [S14E1007] How to tie a tie .mkv is inputted in column A.
 

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.
