Hi, Is it possible to extract only the numeric element of a text string.

i.e. 123 Somewhere Avenue, thanks, Garry
 
If the numbers are always in the beginning of the string as in your example,
use the Val function.

Val("123 Somewhere Avenue") returns 123
 
Hi,



If the number is at the start, then val( ) would do:

? val("123 kjlk")
123



Hoping it may help,
