Extract Text and Numbers from Custom Type Cell

Hello all,

I need some help with extracting exactly the same text as it is shown on Custom type cell (Number with "Text") in Excel.

The problem is in case I convert the Custom type cell to General or Text type cell it returns only a number, but not text.

I have been wondering if there is a function in Excel in order to extract "ASSET_20__UP" into General type cell?

Any help will be appreciated.

Hi KMVKMVKMV and welcome to the forum
Formatting cell doesn't change the value itself. It is simply cosmetic. However, the desired results can be achieved by formula.
Something like that:

You're welcome. Thanks for the rep.
