    So if they always start with 2 letters, you could pull a substring out (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/logic-apps/workflow-definition-language-functions-reference#substring), then use the int function to convert to a value (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/logic-apps/workflow-definition-language-functions-reference#int).

     

    If you can show me how you're getting it into power automate I can help you write the formula.

    this is a simple form of the program i am making. I'm confused about what options I can use to manipulate the text the way I want.

    If it's always going to be 2 letters and then numbers, you could do this

    If the amount of letters could change, you could use the Parse Text action to get the character position of the first digit, and use the "Position" variable for the character position value above
