Excel Facts

How to fill five years of quarters?
Type 1Q-2023 in a cell. Grab the fill handle and drag down or right. After 4Q-2023, Excel will jump to 1Q-2024. Dash can be any character.
like this?

Sandy, It is taking extra numbers too I also approached it with below formulas
Excel Formula:
=IF(SUM(LEN(A2)-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(A2, {"0","1","2","3","4","5","6","7","8","9"}, "")))>0, SUMPRODUCT(MID(0&A2, LARGE(INDEX(ISNUMBER(--MID(A2,ROW(INDIRECT("$1:$"&LEN(A2))),1))* ROW(INDIRECT("$1:$"&LEN(A2))),0), ROW(INDIRECT("$1:$"&LEN(A2))))+1,1) * 10^ROW(INDIRECT("$1:$"&LEN(A2)))/10),"")
OR
Excel Formula:
=SUMPRODUCT(MID(0&A2, LARGE(INDEX(ISNUMBER(--MID(A2, ROW(INDIRECT("1:"&LEN(A2))), 1)) * ROW(INDIRECT("1:"&LEN(A2))), 0), ROW(INDIRECT("1:"&LEN(A2))))+1, 1) * 10^ROW(INDIRECT("1:"&LEN(A2)))/10)

your only criterion is : between 6 and 15 so dates with 8 digits are treated as phone number, not all numbers contain leading zero
so maybe much more details or defined pattern

btw. I don't use formulas

Sandy, Sorry for the wrong illustration from my end. phone number can be between from 6 to 15 and sometime 2 phone numbers can be found in a cell ,
I am not good at excel but learning at my own pace , Might be you are using Power Query ..

you are using Power Query
right
so maybe update your profile (Account details) about excel version and OS don't forget to scroll down and hit save

first three lines contain "phone" numbers separated by space but the seventh line contains phone number and date which is treated as a phone number according to your criteria
you are the only one who can tell what is and what is not a phone number

Check the UDF function.
Use in sheet e.g. = PhoneNumbers (A1)
VBA Code:
Function PhoneNumbers(zak As Range) As String
    Dim clm As Object
    Dim i As Integer
    Dim ms As String, nr As String
   
    PhoneNumbers = "": ms = ""
    With CreateObject("VBScript.RegExp")
        .Pattern = "(^\D+)(?=\d+.*)"
        .Global = True
        .IgnoreCase = True
        Set clm = .Execute(zak.Value)
        ms = clm.Item(0).submatches(0)
        .Pattern = "[0-9 ]{8,}"
        Set clm = .Execute(zak.Value)
        For i = 0 To clm.Count - 1
            nr = Trim(clm.Item(i).Value)
            ms = ms & IIf(i = clm.Count - 1, nr, nr & " ")
        Next
        PhoneNumbers = ms
    End With
    Set clm = Nothing
End Function

Thanks sandy , I have updated my profile, and On 7th row there is data but I do not need it I am stuck at only date , Date element is not common so I will manually handle the date cells
