Excel search function

[Thyag]

Hi All,
Is there a way to use the search function to search non "0" value in
cell.

Ex - if i have "110254" in cell A1 - I need the position of non zero
digit in the string of A1.


Thanks, Thyag.

But you have 5 non-zero digits in your example - which one would you
like to find?

With the value in A1

=MID(A1,MIN(FIND({1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9},A1&"1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9")),1)

will return the first non zero digit
