    Re: Extracting numbers from text?

    I have tried both and neither work, on my sheet, it may be that i have simplified the data im trying to extract the number from, which is in a data table, but i did try Pepe's link which i found this formula from and this works perfect

    =1*MID(A1,MATCH(TRUE,ISNUMBER(1*MID(A1,ROW($1:$9),1)),0),COUNT(1*MID(A1,ROW($1:$9),1)))

    Im going to keep trying with both your formulas as if it works for you two, it surely must work for me,

    Thank you all

    That's why you should post examples of the REAL data. If it contains sensitive or confidential info then you can "disguise" that portion of the data.
