Use your originally posted ISERROR test coupled with Biff's formula (replace
the IF function's 2nd argument... the MID function call... with Biff's
formula, minus the equal sign, of course).

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:

=--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
