Ignore my post.

I replied based on your example of ABSD (P+3.9%)

Won't work with your second posting examples.

Sorry, I wasn't clear enough. It is all in one cell. The 9 has to be
dynamic somehow because the position changes. Here are some more
examples of my data. The only thing I'm sure of is that my number is
between the + and the %.

XR60 (P+4.65%)
BB60 (P+5.15%)
RT61 (P+5.6%)
UU02 (P+6%)
Y661 (P+6.15%)
C26C (P+6.6%)

Appreciate the help!

For your one example you could use: =MID(A1,9,3)

(assuming the data is in cell A1)

I have some data that I want to extract a number from. Here is an
example.

ABSD (P+3.9%)

I want to get at the 3.9, and I'm assuming I would want to use the "+"
sign and the "%" sign as delimiters somehow. Is there a function that
would help me do this all in one step?

I can get there using text to columns, but that is very manual and
requires several steps.

I'm out of ideas!!

Thanks.
