Extract value from a text string
Since the number to extract seem to *always* be at the end of the string:
=--TRIM(RIGHT(SUBSTITUTE(C19," ",REPT(" ",255)),255))

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
