    Can Excel return only part of the text in a cell?

    Hi guys

    I have a worksheet with hundreds of rows as you see in the example attached - I am only interested in the dollar amounts so I can then sum them. Is there a function that would allow me to only return the dollar amount? I can't use the RIGHT function since the text changes per line

    This works on the sample given:

    B2 =MID(A2,FIND("$",A2)+1,5)+0

    Please try at B2

    =--MID(A2,FIND("$",A2)+1,6)

    or

    =-LOOKUP(1,-MID(A2,FIND("$",A2)+1,{4,5,6,7,8}))
