Comparing Data showing "Wrong" results.

F11 is text F14 is a number
hence the left and right justification

=CELL("type",F11) produces "l" - text
=CELL("type",F14) produces "v" - value

in F11
=RIGHT(F8,LEN(F8)-FIND("*",SUBSTITUTE(F8," ","*",LEN(F8)-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(F8," ","")))))*1

cures this problem and satisfies your condition in F18
Note the *1 at the end forcing the result to a number
