How do I search for a number in a string in excel?..

Answer / Lata

You can use the SEARCH or FIND function to find a number within a string. For example, if you have a cell A1 with the text 'Phone number: 555-1234' and want to find the phone number, you could use the formula: =SEARCH(' ', A1) + 8 (or FIND(' ', A1)+8) to return the starting position of the number, then use LEFT or MID functions to extract it.
