    CInt, CDbl Overflow errors


    I have a string x123456. I use the right function to remove the x
    =Right("x123456",6)

    Then I'm trying to convert that to a number, but no matter what I use, CInt, CLng, CDbl, I get an overflow error.

    What am I doing wrong? Is there an easier way to separate the number from the letter?

    Thanks!

    I'm sorry. The problem was a datatype mismatch.

    if there are not always 6 numbers, use the mid function

    =mid("x123456",2)

    or replace function

    =replace("x123456","x","")

    and try using the val function

    =val(
    mid("x123456",2))

    google these functions to find out more
