Hi.
At link below I have attached a excel file where I am trying to extract the data number (day-month-year) from 3 different texts and with different lenghts, but with no sucess till now. I have included more details on excel file.
I need the formula (not VBA) !

Hi again !
Thanks for you support !

Yeah ! It works when I make the changes as you said.
The problem is I receive the "text as it is" by SMS, so it is no feasible to change manually everytime.

How to change case of text in Excel?
Use =UPPER() for upper case, =LOWER() for lower case, and =PROPER() for proper case. PROPER won't capitalize second c in Mccartney
So your region uses dd mmmm, yyyy format?

Try these updated formulas and see if they work for you, it's hard for me to test 100%, as I'm in USA.
