Default Number/Text combination formula

I am not sure I understood your query correctly..If you are looking to find
the result from the data in cell A1; try the below

A1 = 5 Boxes at 5.99

=(LEFT(A1,FIND(" ",A1)-1)+0)*(TRIM(RIGHT(SUBSTITUTE(A1," ",REPT("
",LEN(A1))),LEN(A1)))+0)

If this post helps click Yes
