    How to remove digits from the end of an alphanumeric string?

    Hi Everyone, this is my first post!!!

    I have a very long list of stings at the end of each there is a number that I wish to remove. Here are three items as example:

    Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd.18844
    Panasonic Corporation176
    International Business Machines Corp.1616

    Could not find a way to remove the number since the number of digits changes...

    Does any one have a solution. Would greatly appreciate it.

    Many thanks,

    Uz123

    Hi and welcome to the forum

    Or using an Array formula(Control+Shift+Enter), not just Enter!

    =LEFT(A1,MATCH(1,ISNUMBER(MID(A1,COLUMN($1:$1),1)*1)*1,0)-1)
    Regards

    If yor are looking to remove everything after the first number position,

    =LEFT(A1,MIN(FIND({0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9},A1&"0123456789"))-1)
    Regards,
