I would like one formula to remove "5206" from this string. I tried a combination of right/left formulas together, but I could not get it to work.

5032.5206.05816.00040501.0000

Thanks!
 
If your string '5032.5206.05816.00040501.0000' is in cell A1, you can place the following code in a module and then wherever you want the '5206' to show up in your worksheet, simply enter the formula =GetNumber(A1)

HTML:
Option Explicit
Public Function GetNumber(ByRef target As Range) As String
    GetNumber = Split(Range("A1").Value, ".")(1)
End Function
