I'd like to extract the street number portion only for the address string and if none exists, I'd like it to return a '0'. An example of the data is below:
0005613Elliott Reeder Rd
0007601Glenview Dr
0007724Maplewood Ave
0007348Boulevard 26
0006120Watauga Rd # C
(this row is null)

I'd like to see the following after the formula is applied:
5613
7601
7724
7348
6120
0

I appreciate your assistance!!!
 
If you are using Excel 2007 or later, then try:

Code:
=IFERROR(TEXT(LEFT(A2,7)*1,0),0)
 
If the number of leading zeros is not known, this will be more robust...

Code:
=LOOKUP(9.99E+307,--("0"&MID(A1,MIN(SEARCH({0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9},A1&"0123456789")),ROW(INDIRECT("1:"&LEN(A1))))))

This assumes you're looking at the value in A1.
