Hi there
How to extract through formula just the numbers highlighted in red color mark ? Take into consideration sometimes the currency appears as "R$" and others just "R ". Thanks in advance !

Best way to learn Power Query?
Read M is for (Data) Monkey book by Ken Puls and Miguel Escobar. It is the complete guide to Power Query.
Hi,

Use B1 formula to return results as Text.
Use C1 formula to convert results to Real Numbers. (my sample shows #VALUE ! errors because my regional settings uses the Decimal rather than Comma)

Hi jtakw
Thanks for early repply.
It works !!! :)

As I need the values as number I chose the solution "C1".
By the way I found a new situation that it is not recognized by the proposed formula:
Itau Personnalite: realizada transferencia entre contas no valor de R$30,00 em 12/08 as 11:38. Conta debitada: XXX87-7.
See on this case the currency "R$" is adjacent of the number.
Could you please update the formula to also cover this new one situation ?
Thanks !

Ok, it seems we can't reliably use the " R " & " R$ " as the delimiter, since there's a chance of " R$", there may Also be a chance of " R" where the numbers and directly behind without Any Space.
So I'm using a different approach, hopefully, your strings only contain 1 currency value:

Assuming that your string ..
- only contains one currency value
- that currency value is always expressed as a decimal (like all you samples)
- if the currency can be 1000 or greater there is no thousands separator (can adjust that if required)
- contains no other commas (like all your samples)
(I think jtakw also assumed all these things?)

.. then I think this should also work for you (up to 999999.99 & if bigger numbers required, add a few more into {4,5,6,7,8,9,....})
Code:
=AGGREGATE(14,6,RIGHT(LEFT(A1,FIND(",",A1)+2),{4,5,6,7,8,9})+0,1)
