Last 4 digit

P

puiuluipui

Hi, i need to extract the last 4 digit from a number.
ex:
A B
0788198256 8256
But if the first number of extracted 4 is zero, i need it to be transformed
into 1.
ex:
A B
0788190248 1248

Can this be done?
Thanks!

=VALUE(IF(LEFT(RIGHT(A1,4),1)="0","1"&RIGHT(A1,3),RIGHT(A1,4)))

With A1 containing numeric text of at least 4 characters:

This formula returns the 4 right-most chars,
converting a leading zero to 1:
B1: =MAX(LEFT(RIGHT(A1,4)),1)&RIGHT(A1,3)

Examples:
0788198256.....8256
0788190256.....1256

Note: The returned values will be text.
If you need numbers returned, try this variation:
B1: =--(MAX(LEFT(RIGHT(A1,4)),1)&RIGHT(A1,3))

Is that something you can work with?
