Hi!

Here's one way:

=--MID(A12,MIN(SEARCH
({0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9},A12&"0123456789")),FIND("%" ,A12)-MIN
(SEARCH({0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9},A12&"0123456789")))

This will return 12.45 as a numeric value. If you want
the value formatted as a percent, you will have to format
the cell as percent then use this formula:

=--MID(A12,MIN(SEARCH
({0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9},A12&"0123456789")),FIND("%" ,A12)-MIN
(SEARCH({0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9},A12&"0123456789"))+1 )

I need to extract the numerical value:
ie. "12.45%" from - Percent = 12.45% of total
"24.56% from - amount is 24.56% of parcel

Thanks,

Mike

Why do you want to extract it?
Yopu can replace using editreplace, find what %, leave
replace with blank

If you need a formula to extract it use

=MID(A1,FIND("%",A1),1)

Examples of text:
