    Here is another formula that does this...

    =LOOKUP(9.9E+307,1*LEFT(MID(A1,MIN(FIND({0,1,2,3,4 ,5,6,7,8,9},A1&"0123456789")),999),ROW($1:$999)))

    I think my formula has more characters in it, but it should still be faster than the code at that link because it has three less function calls and it is not array-entered (just press the ENTER key to commit it).
