Please urgent help!

"3-4 Missing two" string in which I need to extract "3" so that I can calculate for the average in a long string. Please see pics below.

Thank you much!

Hi Carolyn,

I couldn't open the Google link, but you can use LEFT to extract the first character in the text string. e.g.:

=LEFT(E2,1)+0

The +0 will convert it to a number that you can then add up.
