Extract a number from a variable text string
With just a single example to go by *maybe* this...
SB 118 Kenny St BV 6rm $415,000 Stockdale & Leggo Gladstone Park
Assuming the number to be extracted is *always* preceded by a $ sign and
followed by a space.
=--LEFT(MID(A1,FIND("$",A1),255),FIND(" ",MID(A1,FIND("$",A1),255))-1)

I want to extract a number from a variable text string, ie the number is
not
in a fixed position in the text string.
I want the numbers to be placed in a separate column so I can calculate
the
median of the series.
E.g.
SB 118 Kenny St BV 6rm $415,000 Stockdale & Leggo Gladstone Park
should return the number 415,000
repeat for each row in the spreadsheet.
Any help appreciated.
