@anonymous008_G 
REGEX_Match([Input],"^\d.*") use this formula.

Thank you for the solution both of you. I had used this formula RegEx_Match([Input],"\d+") but this was not filtering the records which has numeric and character i.e 15488NER, 154896NIR etc. 

Can someone please help me to understand the difference between this two codes?

@anonymous008_G \d+ only consider numbers it will not consider any others characters that’s why you need to specify ^\d.+ , this regex pattern looks for any string start with a digit then any characters followed by the number will consider. 

^\d  means starts with a digit

.+   One or more characters
