Default Extract value from a text string

Hi,

I have three slightly three different text string where I want to extract a
proceed value (672707.58) from it. Below are the text strings.

1) XYZ Corp MLA 2799 SCH 053-000 ABC-72494 Proceeds to ABC for - 672707.58
2) XYZ Corp MLA 2799 SCH 053-000 ABC-72494 Proceeds to ABC Inc for 672707.58
3) XYZ Corp MLA 2799 SCH 053-000 ABC-72494 Proceeds to ABC Inc 672707.58

Below is a formual that works only on the first scenerio. For the second and
third text string, I get a "#value" error.

=IF(ISERROR(SEARCH("ABC",C19)),"0",MID(C19,SEARCH( "- ",C19)+1,99)+0)

Thanks,

Dinesh
