How to remove the last letter from a text field.
I have a list of data:
8888 H
88 H
888 M
8.888 M
How do I remove the H & M to leave a number that I can use in a calculation?

Paul Newcome ✭✭✭✭✭✭Try wrapping it in a VALUE function.
=VALUE(original_formula)

Nick Korna ✭✭✭✭✭✭Hi@Jbob,
If your data always has the extra letter in it, then this would work:
=LEFT(Data@row, (LEN(Data@row) - 1))
If you don't always have the extra letter, or have variable lengthafterthe space, then something like this is better:
=IFERROR(LEFT(Data@row, (FIND(" ", Data@row) - 1)), Data@row)
Hope this helps!

Hello Nick,
That is great, it gives me the number, however it is not a number that I can then use in a calculation.
The calculation returns #INVALID OPERATION.
When I past 'values' it has a hidden 'in front of the number. i.e. '10 instead of 10.
Any more suggestions?
Thank you
