Default Extract highest number

Glad this was helpful too. Can't remember where/who the idea came from.

&" 0/1" is misplaced though, it should actually be inside the TEXT function
just before the last comma. Appending a fractional part of zero ensures all
non-integer values in the text are ignored (dates, times, exponentials, etc.)
&"e0" would include decimals and thousand separators in the result too.
