If you want a formula solution.

=MID(C8,FIND("--",C8)+2,FIND("---",C8)-FIND("--",C8)-2)

I have a column of cells:

ABC-1--2.00---0786759021----33
JYP-1--0.76---0786759021----54
NUJ-1--112.30---0786759021----18
...

How can I extract the data between "--" and "---" (in the case of the
first cell "2")?

Thanks in advance.
