    This works

    =RIGHT(A1,LEN(A1)-FIND(CHAR(255),SUBSTITUTE(A1,"$",CHAR(255),2)))

    Ensure you describe your problem clearly, I have little time available to solve these problems and do not appreciate numerous changes to them.

    Re: right find to bring back only a number

    =MID(A1,FIND("$",SUBSTITUTE(A1,"$"," ",1))+1,256)
    If you have data in Cell A1 try the above and copy towards down
    Otherwise Change the Reference A1 according to your need

    Re: right find to bring back only a number

    If all data follows the same pattern as in the example, this simple formula works:

    =MID(A1;FIND(1;A1;1);4)

    A1 is your target cell, and if your data has values with more than 4 numbers (1032555 for example), then put a 7 or any other number that represents the lenght instead of the 4.
