Hi

Then combine your test with Biff's solution
=IF(ISERROR(SEARCH("ABC",C19)),"0",
--TRIM(RIGHT(SUBSTITUTE(C19," ",REPT(" ",255)),255)))

Hi,

Yes, the amount is always at the end. I have hundreds of text string. So I
want to extract only if the proceeds is related to"ABC". That is one
criteria
that I forgot to emphasis.

Thanks,
Dinesh

Since the number to extract seem to *always* be at the end of the 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
