I have a list of work order comments in range H2:H1150. In each cell is a comment like this:

"1/8/10 Employee at work-----refer to doctor----$750 cap per listing."

I am trying to extract just the dollar amounts from these cells so I can total them in column I but am having a hard time. I tried conditional formatting to highlight the cells that contain dollar amounts but cannot get that to work either.

Any ideas?

Click the italics "fx" icon to the left of the formula bar to open the Functions Arguments dialog. Help is displayed for each argument.
If there is always a $ sign, then maybe:

AB
11/8/10 Employee at work-----refer to doctor----$750 cap per listing.750

A little shorter, one less function call...

=0+MID(LEFT(A1,FIND(" ",A1,FIND("$",A1))),FIND("$",A1)+1,99)
