My preference would be a formula. I would like the adjacent cell to contain only the value for "X" ie. in the first line "G0G54X202.819Z54.5", the X-coord is 202.819. Please note sometimes the text may have a space after the X or after the coordinate. It is not consistent. I have tried "find" and "mid" with limited success. I was wondering if it's possible to analyze each character in the string after the "X" and verify if it's a number or a period. Thank you in advance for any help.

try:
=IF(COUNT(FIND({"X","Z"},A1))=2,TRIM(MID(LEFT(A1,F IND("Z",A1)-1),FIND("X",LEFT(A1,FIND("Z",A1)-1))+1,99)),IF(COUNT(FIND({"X","F"},A1))=2,TRIM(MID (LEFT(A1,FIND("F",A1)-1),FIND("X",LEFT(A1,FIND("F",A1)-1))+1,99)),IF(COUNT(FIND({"F","Z"},A1))=0,TRIM(SUB STITUTE(A1,"X",)),"")))
