Hello,
Please try the bloe formula: =SPLIT( LOWER(A2) ; "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz " )

3년 전에 이렇게 유익한 함수를 공유해 주셨네요. 너무 감사합니다.
너무나 감사해서 혹시 저 같은 경우가 있으신 분들을 위해서 오늘 제가 응용한 함수도 공유하고 갑니다.
Gas Super VIC (G_22GD_2BD_NF )
VIC Loyalty Plus (E_19GD_3BD)
이런 조합에서 숫자만 추출해서 각 숫자의 합을 내야했었는데
=SPLIT (LOWER (A2); "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz") 여기에서
=SPLIT (LOWER (A6), "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz ()_") 제가 제외하고자 하는 기호도 포함시켰더니 깔끔하게
22 2
19 3
이라는 결과를 얻었고 sum 함수를 접목해서 24, 22 라는 숫자를 얻을 수 있었습니다.
감사합니다

this is useful, but doesn't fully solve my problem. When I use this formula, punctuation marks and non-Latin characters are also treated as numbers. Is the best way around this to expand the list of characters in the quotation marks as currently written? My approach for now has been to try and clean the data of any existing punctuation, but the stuff written in Cyrillic is necessary information that I cannot remove.

Hello,
If there are some other punctuation marks and non-Latin characters in your text strings, you can apply this formula to extract the numbers only:
=REGEXREPLACE(A1,"\D+", "")
Hope it can help you, thank you!

Hi santhosh,
Yes, as you said, this formula only can extract all the numbers into one cell.
If you have any other good formulas, please comment here.
Thank you!
