My dataset has a bunch of descriptions that are all prefixed with a standard prefix. Per my example, the standard prefix has the following format:
"ABC+ Rx.x : description"
I only want to return the "Rx.x" substring from my descriptions.
Using Textbefore, I can get everything before ":", but I also want to exclude "ABC+ " so that only "Rx.x" is returned.
How can I achieve this in one formula?
Cell J6 formula , Drag down

One minor change:
=TEXTBEFORE(TEXTAFTER(C6,"+ "),":")
.. with a space after the +, so that the result starts with a letter, not a space.
