Extract value from a text string
=(COUNTIF(A1,"*ABC*")0)*TRIM(RIGHT(SUBSTITUTE(A1 ," ",REPT(" ",99)),99))
No need to test for 0. COUNTIF will return 1 or 0.
1*TRIM(...) = the number
0*TRIM(...) = 0
Assuming the extracted string is always a number:
=COUNTIF(A1,"*ABC*")*TRIM(RIGHT(SUBSTITUTE(A1," ",REPT(" ",99)),99))
You can even remove the TRIM function and it'll work. But, not knowing the
full extent of possible data entries I'd still leave it in the formula.
=COUNTIF(A1,"*ABC*")*RIGHT(SUBSTITUTE(A1," ",REPT(" ",99)),99)

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 -

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,
