Find Formula Help

[Katich]

Hello,

I have a field that downloads out of my system with the following data. I created a formula, =IFERROR(MID(Q5,FIND("Quantity:",Q5)+10,-FIND("Quantity:",Q5)+2),"") which works fine if there is only one number after the Quantity, but as you can see there can be times that there are more. Once i get that number, i multiply it by a cost. I can't do that with a 2 or more digit result as it will then put in a space. Any suggestions?

Quantity: 1||Location: 8010-8013-8017||Inventory Status: Issued for Use|| Result = 1

<tbody>
</tbody>

Or

Quantity: 400|| Result = 4

<tbody>
</tbody>

If Quantity is always first if it's in the string as in your examples, then:
=IF(LEFT(Q5,8)="Quantity",TRIM(MID(SUBSTITUTE(Q5,"|",REPT(" ",255)),10,254))+0,"")
