Extracting a Number

[oscark37]

I've tried a couple things, but can't get a formula to successfully extract the number (6-10) in each cell.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Oscar

maybe something like...

=0+TRIM(LEFT(RIGHT(A1,6),2))

Thanks, but that is giving me #VALUE !

maybe something like...

=0+TRIM(LEFT(RIGHT(A1,6),2))

Are there any other numbers possible in your data? Is the format of your data always the same, e.g. starting with the number you have a number, a space, and 3 characters?

If there are no other numbers in the data, this would work:

=LOOKUP(2^16,FIND({6,7,8,9,10},A1),{6,7,8,9,10})

Genius! Thank you!
