    Hello, I am an idiot when it comes to VBA. With that being said, I could use some help. There is some VBA I'd like to convert to a T SQL function and I am certain there are many people that could do such a thing quickly.

    Thanks for any assistance.

    Public Function GetType(strNumber As String) As String

    Dim intPos

    For intPos = 1 To Len(strNumber)

    If IsNumeric(Mid(strNumber, intPos, 1)) Then

    Exit For

    End If

    Next

    GetType = Trim(Left(strNumber, intPos - 1))

    End Function

    Does this just return the first x characters before it encounters a number?
