Hi, I’ve been searching in the forums but without any luck I’ve seen very beautiful fórmulas for extracting numbers from text strings but in my case I only need to extract the price from a list of products which names sometimes has numbers inside them and I only need the prices from those cells.

Let me show you.

Here is column A...

Galaxy s9 plus a 3.249.900
Galaxy s9 a 2.899.900
Galaxy note 8 a 2.349.900 dorada
Galaxy note 8 a 2.389.900 negra
Galaxy s8 plus a 1.949.900
Galaxy s8 a 1.749.900
Galaxy a8 plus a 1.479.900
Galaxy a8 a 1.369.900
Galaxy s7 edge a 1.399.900
Galaxy s7 a 1.299.900
Iphone x 256gb a 3.679.900
Iphone x 64gb a 3.329.900
Iphone 8 64gb a 2.349.900
Iphone 8 plus 64gb a 2.679.900
Iphone 8 plus 256gb a 3.099.900

I’ve tried text to columns but doesn’t exactly do what I need.
I’ve used the left function but when there is a text in the last part of the cell it doesn’t return the numbers.
So I would like a formula that could take exactly the price ignoring numbers like the one that are on the model’s names...
For example iPhone 8 64GB has 3 numbers in its name and I don’t want the formula to show them.
The formulas that I saw took all the numbers from a cell and I only need the price from that cell.
As you can see my prices are big... 3.249.900
In another cases there’s a final text string in the cell in this case the third and forth row... Dorada, Negra.
I tried text to columns but all prices are not align in the same column I used “a” as a parameter but in some of my products there are “a” in the names and I used spaces as another parameter but as I mentioned they didn’t finish on the same column.
In conclusion...
I want the product name on one column and the price in another column. If you see errors in my sintaxis is because I don’t speak English. Any help would be much appreciated.

This is the result I’m hoping...

Samsung S9 Plus 3249900
Galaxy S9 2899900

Or give this a try (enter with Ctrl - Shift - Enter, not just Enter)

=TRIM(RIGHT(SUBSTITUTE(LEFT(A1,MATCH(2,1/(1+MID(A1,ROW($1:$40),1))))," ", REPT(" ",20)),20))
Here is a normally entered formula that looks like it works...

=TRIM(RIGHT(SUBSTITUTE(REPLACE(A1,FIND("."&TRIM(RIGHT(SUBSTITUTE(A1,".",REPT(" ",99)),99)),A1)+4,99,"")," ",REPT(" ",99)),99))
